ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how the heart’s left side (the left ventricle) changes over time in patients who have had a specific type of heart attack called STEMI and were treated with a procedure to quickly open blocked arteries. The researchers want to understand how the heart heals or remodels after this event by using various tests, including heart ultrasounds and MRI scans, both during the hospital stay and six months later. They will look at things like heart function, heart muscle damage, and signs of inflammation to see how these factors relate to changes in the heart’s size and strength over time.

Anyone who has had a STEMI and received the artery-opening treatment may be eligible to join, as long as they can safely have an MRI scan. Participants can expect to have blood tests, heart ultrasounds, and MRI scans done when they first come to the hospital, before they leave, and again six months later. Doctors will also check how well their heart is working and look for any changes that might affect their health. This study aims to help doctors better understand recovery after a heart attack and improve care for future patients.
