Examining gender differences in heart recovery after a heart attack

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study investigates how myocardial infarction affects cardiac remodeling differently in men and women, focusing on the poorer prognosis observed in female patients. It involves non-invasive imaging techniques to assess changes in left ventricular volumes and function following the first ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. The study aims to establish a biorepository and registry to better understand these disparities and improve patient outcomes. Participants will be monitored over time to gather data on their cardiac health post-infarction.
