This is an observational study that tracks heart recovery in patients who have experienced a type of heart attack called STEMI (a sudden blockage of a major heart artery). Researchers will collect heart imaging scans, blood tests, and other health information when you arrive at the hospital and again at six months to understand how your heart heals and whether it develops any long-term changes.
After a severe heart attack, the heart muscle can change shape and function in unpredictable ways during recovery. This study aims to identify which patients are at risk for these harmful changes so that doctors can better understand how to protect the heart during healing.

You will have heart ultrasound scans and heart MRI imaging at the hospital and again at six months after your heart attack. Blood samples will be taken to measure markers of heart damage and inflammation. At the six-month visit, you will have all these tests repeated along with a clinical evaluation to see how well your heart has recovered.
