ClinConnect Summary

This study is looking at heart attacks (called acute myocardial infarctions) in young adults between the ages of 18 and 45. The goal is to better understand the unique features and risk factors that affect younger people who have heart attacks, since their condition can be different from older patients. Researchers want to collect detailed health information from young patients soon after their heart attack and follow them over time. They will use this information, along with advanced computer techniques, to create a tool that can help doctors predict who is at higher risk and improve how heart attacks are diagnosed and treated in young adults.

To join the study, participants need to be between 18 and 45 years old and have had a heart attack diagnosed within the last 24 hours. They also need to be able to give consent and have a life expectancy of more than one year. People with previous serious heart problems, pregnancy, certain mental health issues, or other severe medical conditions won’t be eligible. If you join, you can expect to share your medical information and have regular check-ins so researchers can learn more about what affects recovery and long-term health after a heart attack in young adults. This study is not yet recruiting, but it aims to improve care and outcomes for younger people who experience this serious condition.
