ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is designed to better understand how a specific test called flow mediated dilation (FMD) can help predict outcomes for patients experiencing acute coronary syndromes, which are serious heart conditions like heart attacks. The study will also look at other heart tests and new technology to gather more information. Researchers aim to see if these tools can help doctors make better decisions about treatment.
To join this study, participants need to be at least 18 years old and hospitalized due to acute coronary syndrome. This includes conditions like STEMI or NSTEMI heart attacks. However, certain patients are not eligible, such as those over 85 years old or with specific heart issues or serious health problems. If someone qualifies and decides to participate, they can expect to provide consent and follow a schedule for check-ups during the study. This research is currently active but not looking for new participants.
