This trial is testing a simple technique called the RE-START procedure that uses a blood pressure cuff placed on your arm to help your body naturally dissolve the clot blocking blood flow to your heart during a heart attack. The procedure is designed to work quickly, without delaying your emergency heart attack treatment. Researchers believe this treatment might help restore blood flow before you receive standard emergency care.
Heart attacks happen when a blood clot blocks blood flow to the heart muscle, causing damage. Currently, patients rely on emergency procedures to open the blocked artery, but there is often a delay before treatment begins. This trial is testing whether the new treatment could help your body start dissolving the clot on its own during that critical waiting time.

If you are eligible and agree to join, you will receive either the RE-START procedure (a blood pressure cuff applied to your non-dominant arm for a short period) or a sham procedure (a cuff that does not actually restrict blood flow) as part of your emergency heart attack care. Your doctors will then proceed with your standard emergency treatment. You will not experience any delay in your regular care, as this procedure happens very quickly at the beginning of your hospital visit.
