Filter by:The spinal cord is a very important part of the central nervous system. fMRI can be applied to observe functional status of the human spinal cord. Under different conditions, the investigators will see different types of fMRI signals within the spinal cord. In resting state, the investigators might see active/inactive signals, too.
The investigators hypothesized that complementary intracoronary streptokinase administration to primary percutaneous intervention in patients with acute myocardial infarction may provide limitation infarct size and improvement in left ventricular volumes and function in acute and late phases (6 months).
A three months, double-blind, randomised, parallel-group study evaluating the efficacy of sitagliptin (Januvia™) versus placebo on beta-cell function in patients with newly detected glucose abnormalities and acute myocardial infarction or unstable angina pectoris. Primary endpoint Improvement in beta-cell function measured by means of the insulinogenic index (ΔI30/ΔG30) obtained from an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Secondary endpoints 1. Improvement of glucose tolerance by means of an OGTT 2. Improvement in endothelial function 3. Improvement in incretin-independent beta-cell function measured as the Acute Insulin Response (ΔAIRG) during an intravenous glucose tolerance test
This study aims at evaluating, in a proof of concept approach, the outcome of patients presenting with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction within 3 hours of symptom onset in either a pre-hospital setting or community hospital emergency room without a PCI facility. Following randomisation a strategy of early tenecteplase and additional antiplatelet and antithrombin therapy followed by catheterisation within 6-24 hours with timely coronary intervention as appropriate (or by rescue coronary intervention if required) in Group A will be compared to primary PCI performed according to local standards in Group B. The study is exploratory in nature and will examine this medical question. The efficacy and safety endpoints as well as mixed (efficacy and safety) composite endpoints up to or before 30 days following randomisation will be evaluated. All clinical endpoints of main interest will be assessed as single or composite endpoints for evaluation of the trial objective. All statistical tests are of exploratory nature based on descriptive p-values for formal statistical hypotheses generation.
compare measurements of left ventricular volumes and LVEF obtained by 2DE, 3DE, and CMR after a ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) complicated by systolic left ventricular dysfunction
This study is designed to evaluate the long-term ocular safety of SCH 530348 (vorapaxar) in participants with established atherosclerotic disease who are enrolled into the TRA 2°P - TIMI 50 Study (P04737) (NCT00526474).
The purpose of this study to investigate whether the administration of high-dose tirofiban before primary PCI could reduce myocardial infarct size, using analysis of contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging.
This study wishes to understand: 1. whether vaccination against influenza in coronary artery disease (myocardial infarction and stable angina) patients is as effective as it is in healthy subjects; 2. whether vaccination really decreases the episodes of influenza infection in those coronary artery disease patients who receive the vaccine than those who do not.
Influenza vaccine reduces the cardiovascular events in post-myocardial infarction (MI) patients and in those with stable angina (SA).
This study is designed to evaluate the effect of pacing on post-MI patients.
