Summary
This study involves the use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to determine whether blood clots can be identified within the blood vessels supplying blood to the heart in patients with angina and who have recently suffered a heart attack.
Detailed description
The majority of heart attacks are caused as a result of small blood clots forming within the blood vessels supplying blood to the heart, obstructing blood flow to the heart muscle. Research has also shown that blood clots may form in the blood vessels of the heart without causing a heart attack. At present, blood clots may be identified by techniques used during invasive coronary angiography, but we wish to determine whether a non-invasive test (MRI scanning) can be used to detect small blood clots within the blood vessels supplying blood to the heart muscle.
Conditions
Interventions
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| OTHER | Magnetic Resonance Imaging | Each participant will undergo at least one MRI scan. A small number will be asked to undergo repeat MRI scanning at one and three months following the initial scan. |
| DEVICE | Optical Coherence Tomography | Participants may undergo Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) during the angiogram procedure in order to detect thrombus within the coronary arteries. |
| PROCEDURE | Invasive Coronary Angiography | This will be performed as part of usual care and does not constitute part of the research project. |
