Study of Myocardial Ischemia (SOMI)

The Study of Myocardial Ischemia (SOMI) is a research initiative that investigates how reduced blood flow to the heart muscle affects its function and overall heart health. Myocardial ischemia can lead to chest pain and, if severe, heart attacks. The study aims to understand the underlying mechanisms, identify at-risk patients, and evaluate potential treatments. By collecting and analyzing data on heart health, SOMI helps improve diagnostic methods and therapeutic approaches, ultimately enhancing patient care and outcomes related to heart disease.
