Filter by:This study is a prospective, single-center, randomized controlled clinical trial. Ninety patients with anterior wall ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) who are planned for primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) within 6 hours of symptom onset will be screened. Patients with inclusion criteria and without exclusion criteria will be randomized into three groups in a 1:1:1 ratio: OCT-guided group, 60 MHz HD-IVUS-guided group, and angiography-guided group after signing the informed consent form. Based on the lesion characteristics detected by imaging in each group, coronary revascularization will be performed for the culprit vessels of myocardial infarction. The TIMI myocardial perfusion frame count (TMPFC) values of the culprit vessels will be recorded immediately after PCI, and secondary prevention medications for myocardial infarction will be administered. Three days after the procedure, a 3.0T cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with gadolinium diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (Gd-DTPA) delayed enhancement (LEG) scan will be conducted to assess the microvascular obstruction (MVO) area. Patients will be followed in the outpatient clinic visit at 1 month (with a window period of XX days) after discharge, and a repeat cardiac MRI will be performed to determine the presence of MVO and the size of the myocardial infarction.
• to find the relationship between the different hematological indices including platelet indices, and blood cell ratios, to the development of LV thrombus in acute anterior STEMI patients managed by primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) , or thrombolytic therapy .
The research study is being done to see if ziltivekimab can be used to treat people who were admitted to hospital because of a heart attack. Ziltivekimab might reduce development of heart disease, thereby preventing new heart attacks or strokes. Participants will either get ziltivekimab (active medicine) or placebo (a dummy medicine which has no effect on the body). Which treatment participants get is decided by chance. The chance of getting ziltivekimab or placebo is the same. Ziltivekimab is not yet approved in any country or region in the world. It is a new medicine that doctors cannot prescribe. The study will last for about 2 years.
We now have very sensitive blood tests that can pick up damage to the heart and find patients who have had a heart attack. However, whilst this is welcome, it does not identify what causes the heart attack and can sometimes pick up other conditions that cause a strain on the heart. The classic cause of a heart attack is when a blood clot forms on fatty deposits within the heart arteries. This leads to treating patients with blood thinning medication, and this is very effective and saves lives. However, many apparent heart attacks are not caused by blood clots and some may be caused by blood clots but pass unrecognised. In this proposal, we will test an exciting new imaging test that can 'see' from outside the body whether there is a blood clot in the heart arteries. This could provide a major new way of assessing patients to ensure they get the right diagnosis and the right treatment. This could ultimately improve the outcomes of or patients with heart attacks. We will recruit 80 patients in total who have recently been diagnosed with a heart attack from the cardiology department at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh. The research team will review patient's medical records to determine eligibility for the study. The research study involves participants undertaking the following research procedures and assessments: 1. A combined Positron Emission Tomography and Computed Tomography (PET-CT) scan of the heart 2. Ultrasound scan of the heart (Echocardiogram) 3. MRI scan of the heart 4. A blood test - a total of up to four tablespoons (60 mL) of blood will be taken for immediate testing and the remaining blood will be stored for future ethically approved studies 5. A follow up questionnaire 6 -12 months following the heart attack
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effects of time-restricted eating in patients with history of acute coronary syndrome. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1) Is 10-hr TRE safe and feasible for patients with ACS; 2)What are the impacts of 10-hr TRE on anthropometric measurements, cardiometabolic health and cardiovascular health compared to ad libitum eating in patients with ACS?. Participants will be asked to limit eating duration to 10 hours daily.
The main goal of the ULTRA-STEMI trial is to investigate the prognostic impact of IVUS-guided PCI in patients with STEMI and correlate IVUS measurements with clinical, procedural, imaging and follow-up outcomes of interest. Study participants will undergo primary PCI as per standardized procedures; IVUS will be performed at baseline, post-intervention and post-optimization. Manual thrombus aspiration will be performed according to clinical indications. The aspirated thrombi will be collected and scanned with micro-computed tomography (micro-CT). Also, angiographic and peri-procedural data will be gathered. Post-PCI instantaneous wave-free ratio (IFR) will also be performed to assess the severity of the residual coronary-artery stenosis, if any. All patients will be followed up for at least12 months for the adjudication of major adverse cardiovascular events.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effectiveness of Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cell (UC MSC) therapy in patients with STEMI against infarct myocardial size reduction and prevent the incidence of heart failure in the future
Stroke remains the second leading cause of death worldwide, with 2%-8% of these being large hemispheric infarction (LHI) with an occupying effect and the worst prognosis. Even with medical and surgical treatment, the mortality of LHI with cerebral edema is as high as 20% to 30%. Current guidelines recommend supportive supervision, osmotic drugs, and decompressive hemicraniectomy (DHC) for the treatment of LHI, but not all patients with LHI are suitable for DHC, and not all of them can afford the high cost of DHC. In the real-world, the use of osmotic drugs is more common than DHC. The guideline recommends using mannitol or hypertonic saline to reduce cerebral edema and tissue displacement in patients with cerebral edema. Mannitol is the most widely used and longest-standing osmotic drug, and since 1965, hypertonic saline has been used to treat intracranial hypertension. Most of the previous studies compare the efficacy of DHC over medical therapy or compare the efficacy of mannitol with hypertonic saline, but there is an absence of clinical data on whether osmotic drug therapy can improve the clinical prognosis of patients with large hemispheric infarction at 90 days or even longer. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the association between the osmotic drug and clinical outcomes in large hemispheric infarction, with the aim of informing clinical decisions.
Magnetocardiography (MCG) is a promising noninvasive and accurate method for detecting myocardial infarction. Although progress has been made in this area, there is a lack of studies using up-to-date examination instruments for the calibration of MCG analysis. This is a prospective single-center study aiming to build accurate analytical models of MCG to detect myocardial infarction. Myocardial infarction are diagnosed by electrocardiogram, biomarkers (high-sensitivity cardiac troponin, etc), or non-invasive imaging (cardiac magnetic resonance or single-photon-emission tomography). Myocardial infarction is also quantified by cardiac magnetic resonance or single-photon-emission tomography. Healthy volunteers and chest pain patients who will receive electrocardiogram, biomarkers (high-sensitivity cardiac troponin, etc), or non-invasive imaging (cardiac magnetic resonance or single-photon-emission tomography) examination will be enrolled in this study.
Myocardial infarction (MI) is a major contributor to morbidity and mortality in China. The goal of this interventional, randomised controlled clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a single administration of Nivolumab to the patients presenting with an acute anterior ST-segmental elevated myocardial infarction. Researchers will investigate if Nivolumab treatment can effectively and safely reduce infarct size as well as improve cardiac function of the patients with acute myocardial infarction.
