EUROTRANSFER Registry is a prospective, international, web-based European Registry on Patients with ST-Elevation MI Transferred for Mechanical Reperfusion (PCI) with a Special Focus on Upstream Use of Abciximab. This registry is designed to collect data on approximately 1800 patients during a 12 month enrollment period in up to 20 interventional cardiology centres with hospital transfer networks from all over Europe. Analysis of this registry should allow to monitor transfer timelines of patients arriving to the cath-lab from the regional hospital with or without upstream start of abciximab and scheduled for mechanical reperfusion (PCI) as well as to monitor regional differences across Europe in regard to the impact that time of various stages of the treatment chain may have on clinical outcomes.
This study will compare the effect of a prasugrel 10-mg maintenance dose with a clopidogrel 75-mg maintenance dose on platelet activity, approximately 1 week after the first dose of study drug, in subjects who have been taking clopidogrel 75 mg daily following a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with placement of a stent, performed to treat acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
We hypothesize that reduced dose of enoxaparin in elderly patients will result in reduced proportion of patients with therapeutic anti Xa activity and reduced clinical efficacy.
The purpose of this study is to determine if veliflapon (DG-031)can prevent a heart attack or stroke in African American patients with a history of unstable angina or myocardial infarction.
To evaluate the effect of the drug Montelukast on the brachial artery's function. By giving a drug like Montelukast, which blocks the effects of inflammation in the lungs arteries and controls asthma, we hope to see positive effects in other arteries such as in the heart.
This study is designed as a prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind analysis of atorvastatin 80 mg versus placebo administered on average 4 hours prior to percutaneous coronary intervention [PCI] (at least 2 hours) in patients presenting with unstable angina. Only patients with negative cardiac biomarkers, measured on 2 separate occasions a few hours apart will be eligible for inclusion. Furthermore, patients already on high-dose statin therapy; patients taking any statin within 24 hours prior to the PCI; and patients with contraindications to statins will be excluded from the study. The primary endpoint is a quantitative troponin level at 18-24 hours after PCI. At an enrollment of a total of 150 patients (75 per group), the study is powered to detect a 30% difference in troponin level. Secondary endpoints include elevation of creatine kinase (CK) and CK-MB above the upper limit of normal, change in C-reactive protein (CRP) levels from baseline and thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) myocardial perfusion grade. All patients will be started on statin therapy the day after the procedure, as deemed appropriate by their treating physicians.
The purpose of the study is to assess the usefulness of high Frequency mid-QRS analysis in identifying the ischemic origin of patients presenting to the Emergency Room (ER)with Chest pain.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the follow up of patients with acute coronary syndrome and modifiable cardiovascular risk factors is efficient based on outpatients visits in a House of Education, underlining the importance of nicotinic weaning, weight loss and physical activity practice.
This is a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled study, clinical trail designed to evaluate the efficacy safety and superiority of intravenous boluses of isosorbide dinitrate for the relief of acute anginal pain episodes in acute coronary syndrome patients in comparison with the usual manner of S/L isosorbide dinitrate .
