Interleukin-1 Blockade in Acute Myocardial Infarction to Prevent Heart Failure (NCT05177822)
Interleukin-1 Blockade in Acute Myocardial Infarction to Prevent Heart Failure: The Virginia - Anakinra Remodeling Trial 4
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Patients who have a heart attack are at high risk for future development of heart failure ('weakening of the heart'). The researchers believe that the reaction of the heart muscle to injury (inflammation) during a heart attack may be contributing to the risk of heart failure. The current study will test the ability of an anti-inflammatory medicine (anakinra) to block the inflammation in the body during and after a heart attack.
