Filter by:This study is a prospective, open-label, two-arm, randomized multicenter trial to identify whether immediate multi-vessel PCI would be better in clinical outcomes compared with culprit lesion-only PCI for AMI and multi-vessel disease with an advanced form of CS patients who require veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenator (VA-ECMO).
Several clinical and preclinical studies have focused interest on lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)], showing a direct and independent relationship of its circulating levels with the progression of atherosclerosis and its clinical manifestations. However, to date, Lp(a) represents an underestimated predictor of CV risk, especially in higher-risk populations, such as patients with strong CV familiarity and recurrent and/or early-onset CV events. The key point of the project will be the evaluation of the role of Lp(a) in the development of atherosclerotic disease and, specifically, acute coronary syndrome.
Glucose monitoring after Acute Myocardial infarct in people with diabetes is a Dexcom funded study that is investigating whether the use of continuous glucose monitors (Dexcom ONE model) in people with type 2 diabetes facilitates time in glycaemic range in the 6 months after an acute myocardial infarction. As an exploratory outcome it will investigate whether time in glycaemic range is associated with changes in mortality and major adverse cardiac events in the 6 months after acute myocardial infarct.
For a long time, the right ventricle has been the "forgotten chamber", but with the deepening of people's understanding of the disease, right ventricular dysfunction has become an important factor to evaluate the disease progression and late prognosis of patients with AMI. Right ventricular myocardial strain derived from two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography is a new method for early evaluation of regional and global right ventricular systolic function, and its repeatability is much higher than that of LVEF. Acute inferior myocardial infarction is often caused by occlusion of the proximal middle segment of the right coronary artery. Many studies have confirmed that RVMS is an independent predictor of poor prognosis in patients with AIMI. However, 60% of the right ventricular systolic function is contributed by the left ventricle and interventricular septum, and the left anterior descending branch and the left circumflex branch are the main sources of blood supply to the left ventricle and interventricular septum, so in theory, non-RCA occlusion can also lead to varying degrees of right ventricular dysfunction. However, there are few studies on the role of RVMS in predicting the prognosis of AMI patients caused by non-RCA occlusion. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to prospectively study the value of dynamic changes of RVMS in predicting the prognosis of patients with acute myocardial infarction with different infarct-related vessels, in order to provide more clinical reference information for the diagnosis and treatment of AMI.
In the present study, we aim to investigate the effects of dobutamine infusion and/or a single intravenous (IV) dose of the IL-6 antagonist Tocilizumab administered after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) presenting < 24 hours from onset of chest pain and an intermediate to high risk of cardiogenic shock (CS) by assessment with the ORBI risk score (≥10 - not in overt shock at hospital admission). Plasma concentrations of pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (proBNP) as a proxy for development of cardiogenic shock (CS) and hemodynamic instability will be sampled for primary endpoint analysis. Effects on clinical parameters, mortality, morbidity as well as specific indicators of inflammation, cardiac function, and infarct size will secondarily be assessed noninvasively. The rationale behind the current study is that inflammatory and neurohormonal responses are associated with subclinical hemodynamic instability in patients with AMI with high risk of CS have worse outcomes. The potentially unstable condition may be targeted pharmacologically as an add-on to existing therapy. This is investigated in patients at elevated risk of CS by sampling biomarkers reflecting the inflammatory and neurohormonal responses, as well as determining effects on patient outcomes and infarct size.
This is a multi-center, prospective, randomized, controlled study. The patients with STEMI who were to undergo PPCI were divided into PCSK9 inhibitor group (n=80) and conventional treatment group (n=80) using the interactive web response system (IWRS), at a 1:1 ratio. In the PCSK9 inhibitor group, a dose of PCSK9 inhibitor (alirocumab) was injected subcutaneously immediately after PPCI and was administered every two weeks thereafter for 3 months; the control group received conventional treatment. Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) were used to measure myocardial salvage index at 1 week after operation as primary endpoints. Eject fraction at 6 months after operation will also be measured by MRI as secondary endpoints. Serum TnI/T，CKMB levels were detected q8h for three times and and LDL-C levels were detected at 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after operation. Blood inflammation indicators were detected before and 1 week after the operation, and 6 months after the operation.
This protocol describes a retrospective, single-center study intended to test the impact of optical coherence tomography(OCT) on long term clincical outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI). All the patients will be followed by intracoronary OCT at medium follow-up of 3 years.
Comparison of high PD1+ T cell and low PD1+ T cell expression in peripheral blood for cardiac function prognosis in Patients with acute myocardial infarction
East Asian patients will be required optimal dose of newer P2Y12 inhibitor (ticagrelor) to determine the safer treatment and better outcome. Whether low dose of ticagrelorI is more adequate for clinical practice in Korea is unclear. Therefore, the investigators aim to evaluate efficacy and safety of low dose of ticagrelor in Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI).
This large real-world international prospective registry will provide a unique opportunity to comprehensively understand the contemporary management, clinical course and short as well as long-term outcomes of all Cardiogenic Shock (CS) patients cared for at four high volume dedicated shock care centers. As the first true North American multicenter CS collaborative with a uniform dedicated and comprehensive case report form, the high patient volumes and wide spectrum of clinical acuity seen at these institutions will provide valuable insight into the factors associated with adverse outcomes; and will serve as a blueprint for future clinical trial designs that may better inform clinical practice.
