Filter by:To study the effect of a simple and fast 'modus operandi' by aspiration of thrombus and debris with the Export catheter in an acute occlusion, on microvascular (re)perfusion and late left ventricular remodeling. Subsequently determinating if PCI with primary aspiration as an adjunct is superior to standard PCI. Microvascular (re)perfusion will be assessed with angiographic and electrocardiographic measurements (TIMI frame count, TIMI flow grade, Blush score, ST-T segment measurements). Early and late left ventricular function and infarct size will be measured with serial MRI imaging.
The purpose of this study is to determine if oral atorvastatin administered just before percutaneous coronary angioplasty for acute myocardial infarction improves early and late heart function as compared to placebo.
The aim of this study is to improve the detection of heart attack in people who come to a hospital emergency room (ER) with cardiac symptoms. We are testing a novel technology that calculates the heart's electrical activity at points all around the upper body torso and develops a map showing areas indicating heart attack. Our hypothesis is that this new body mapping technique will be better than the standard electrocardiogram (ECG) in detecting heart attack.
To perform a comprehensive evaluation of multidetector CT myocardial enhancement patterns in patients with an acute ST elevation MI. In particular we plan to assess the relationship between regions with early hypoperfusion and/or late hyperenhancement, and myocardial viability.
Non-invasive evaluation of patients with stable angina and unstable coronary syndromes with transthoracic Doppler echocardiography to evaluate presence of significant coronary stenoses. Blinded evaluation and comparison with coronary angiography: presence and location of stenoses, and head to head comparison of clinical value and patient classification.
Impaired contractile function after a heart attack of the heart is a major cause of "heart failure" limiting quality of life and prognosis, which cannot be prevented even with optimal standard therapy, including immediate balloon/stent dilation of the infarct vessel. The aim of the REPAIR-AMI trial is to investigate whether infusion of progenitor cells into the infarct vessel (after successful reperfusion therapy) may improve left ventricular contractile function compared to placebo therapy. After bone marrow aspiration progenitor cells are enriched via a centrifugation method.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether prompt removal of thrombus (blood clot) from a blocked coronary artery using the AngioJet rheolytic thrombectomy device will result in improved blood flow within the heart and a smaller final infarct size (reduced injury to the heart muscle).
The purpose of this study is to study efficacy and safety of cilostazol use in patients with acute ischemic stroke.
The purpose of the study is to test higher versus lower doses of aspirin on markers of atherosclerosis in patients who have had a heart attack.
The primary purpose of this study is to assess the safety of INO-1001 in subjects who have experienced a heart attack and are to be treated with coronary angioplasty.
