In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Acute myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation (STEMI) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Although advances in reperfusion therapy have reduced early mortality, many patients later develop adverse ventricular remodeling (AVR), which increases the risk of heart failure and cardiovascular death. Current imaging methods, such as echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), provide valuable prognostic information but have limitations in availability, cost, and their ability to predict AVR early and individually. Spectral computed tomography (CT) is an emerging imaging technique that can characterize myocardial tissue, quantify infarct size, assess microvascular obstruction, and detect complications, with lower contrast and radiation requirements compared to conventional CT. In parallel, circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) have been identified as stable
