Prospective Cohort Study of Aging in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction
China600 participantsStarted 2026-08-01
Plain-language summary
This is a single-center, prospective, observational cohort study designed to investigate the association between aging-related characteristics and long-term outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Approximately 588 eligible participants will be consecutively enrolled and followed for at least 24 months. Clinical data, aging assessments, laboratory examinations, cardiac imaging, and blood samples will be collected to establish a clinical database and biobank. The study aims to identify aging-related prognostic biomarkers, develop a risk prediction model integrating clinical and aging-related indicators, and improve risk stratification and individualized management for patients with AMI.

Inclusion Criteria:
* 1\.

Acute myocardial infarction occurs for ≥ 3 months; 3. Meet the diagnostic criteria for AMI in accordance with the Fourth Edition General Definition of Myocardial Infarction; 4. The patient or their legal representative signs an informed consent form.
Exclusion Criteria:
* 1\. Newly diagnosed acute myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, stroke or transient ischemic attack within the past 3 months; 2. Serious life-threatening diseases (such as advanced malignant tumors, end-stage kidney disease/liver disease, severe infections) with an estimated lifespan of less than 1 year; 3. Severe cognitive impairment, mental illness, inability to cooperate in completing follow-up, aging assessment, and related examinations; 4. Unable to complete assessment items such as grip strength, walking speed, and 6-minute walk test due to non cardiac reasons such as physical disabilities and severe bone and joint diseases; 5. Failed to sign the informed consent form.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
