About This Trial
Acute Myocardial Infarction (heart attacks) affect about 86000 people each year in the UK. Given this large number of people, it is important that health teams look at ways to ensure the best care to improve outcomes after a heart attack. In related heart conditions, the role of iron is important, but there isn't much information about what effect iron levels have on patients following a heart attack. We want to plan a large scale study to look at this, but need some early data to understand how many patients have low iron levels. This small study will take part at one NHS Trust and will test for iron levels in all patients who provide consent (we expect up to 70 patients will take part). We will also collect data from medical notes for these patients and use all of this information together to understand more about iron and to plan a larger study.
