An observational study in Acute Myocardial Infarction, sponsored by South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. Completed at 2 sites in United Kingdom. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-07-07.

Acute Myocardial Infarction (heart attacks) affect about 86000 people each year in the UK. Given this large number of people, it is important that health teams look at ways to ensure the best care to improve outcomes after a heart attack.
In related heart conditions, the role of iron is important, but there isn't much information about what effect iron levels have on patients following a heart attack.
We want to plan a large scale study to look at this, but need some early data to understand how many patients have low iron levels. This small study will take part at one NHS Trust and will test for iron levels in all patients who provide consent (we expect up to 70 patients will take part). We will also collect data from medical notes for these patients and use all of this information together to understand more about iron and to plan a larger study.
2,270 studies on the registry are indexed under Myocardial Infarction; 371 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 70 is below the median of 568 across 814 observational studies indexed under Myocardial Infarction.

Exclusion
1 - Not fulfilling inclusion criteria
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Ran from Apr 2024 to primary completion in Jun 2024, 1 month.
Of 296 non-industry observational studies under Myocardial Infarction, half reached primary completion within 54 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 19 and three quarters within 140. This study's 1 month is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 333 studies reached it within 48 months; a quarter within 17 and three quarters within 114.
