CvLPRIT
The CvLPRIT trial aimed to find out whether all narrowed vessels should be reopened during an angioplasty to treat a STEMI heart attack.
Impact of clinical trials: heart attack
We’ve supported pioneering clinical trials into diagnosis and treatment of heart attack. Discover how these trials have helped shape heart care.
Our completed trials
ERIC PPCI
This study examined whether restricting blood flow to a limb can help protect the heart from injury during heart attack treatment.
High STEACS
This trial looked at whether a blood test that detects tiny amounts of the protein troponin could better help diagnose and treat heart attacks.
REACT
In this trial, researchers tested different ways of treating a STEMI heart attack following unsuccessful treatment with clot busting drugs.
RITA3
RITA 3 looked at how best to treat NSTEMI heart attacks, which happen when blood flow to the heart is partly blocked or narrowed.
SENIOR RITA
The SENIOR RITA trial tested if invasive angiograms are an effective treatment for older people with NSTEMI heart attack.
UKGRIS
This trial examined whether using the GRACE risk score impacts the care people receive after an NSTEMI heart attack or unstable angina.
