Filter by:The primary objective of the study is to collect confirmatory data supporting the safety and effectiveness of SSO2 Therapy in treatment of anterior acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients who have undergone successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stenting within six hours of experiencing AMI symptoms.
The purpose of the PINPOINT study is to compare pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of ticagrelor in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) patients designated to invasive strategy. Data regarding comparison of PK and antiplatelet action of ticagrelor in STEMI and NSTEMI are sparse. Recommended dosing regimens of ticagrelor are identical for both STEMI and NSTEMI, although it is not known whether PK and PD features of ticagrelor are uniform in these patients.
We had little experience in coronary intervention with recently introduced newer drug-eluting stent (DES) platforms, despite great anticipation, and optimal duration of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) for these stent systems still needs to be established. Herein, we plan the HOST-coronary intervention with next-generation drug-eluting stent platforms and abbreviated dual antiplatelet therapy (HOST-IDEA) trial to compare single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT) after 3-month DAPT with 12-month DAPT in all-comers undergoing coronary intervention with third-generation DES with the thinnest struts. P2Y12 inhibitor treatment is added to aspirin during the 3-months period after the stenting, and this abbreviated duration of DAPT will be compared with conventional 1-year mandatory DAPT regimen in a 1:1 randomized stratification. Net adverse clinical events (NACEs), a composite of cardiac death, target vessel related myocardial infarction, clinically-drivent target lesion revascularization, definite or probable stent thrombosis and major bleeding is a primary endpoint for evaluating safety and efficacy of the difference of DAPT duration. 1-year target lesion failure (TLF) as a composite of cardiac death, target vessel related myocardial infarction and clinically driven target lesion revascularization will be identified as a secondary ischemic outcome. 1-year major bleeding events classified as BARC type 3 or 5 bleeding events will be identified as a secondary bleeding outcome. With this trial, you will be able to get clear insight on the behavior of newer DES platforms. Reference data for the shortened mandatory DAPT regimen will also be delineated in the selected patients, and it might be helpful to those who need it.
The aim of the study is to investigate the impact of an initial non-specific / non-cardiac diagnosis on mortality among patients hospitalised with acute myocardial infarction.
The overarching goal of this program to increase the use of evidence-based, secondary-prevention medications and promote healthy lifestyles among myocardial infarction (MI) patients through using provider-facing mobile app and patients-facing text messages.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a polypill strategy containing aspirin (100 mg), ramipril (2.5, 5 or 10 mgs), and atorvastatin (40 mgs) compared with the standard of care (usual care according to the local clinical practices at each participating country) in secondary prevention of major cardiovascular events (cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal ischemic stroke, and urgent revascularization) in elderly patients with a recent myocardial infarction.
Stroke is the first leading cause of death in China, and is responsible for almost 22.4% of deaths. In approximately 80% of cases stroke is ischaemic, i.e. caused by disruption of blood flow to part of the brain from an acute arterial occlusion. Survival of penumbral tissue distal to an arterial occlusion depends on collateral circulation via the Circle of Willis and leptomeningeal anastomises. Collateral flow is dynamic and failure is associated with infarct growth. The presence of adequate collaterals has been shown to be associated with age, history of statin use, and non-hypertension. Dl-3-n-butylphthalide (NBP), isolated from the seeds of celery, and found to exert protective effects against ischemic brain and increase leptomeningeal blood flow. This study investigate whether NBP injection prescribed during acute stroke will have a significant effect to improve collateral circulation in patients of anterior circulation occlusion.
The majority of deaths after myocardial infarction occurs in patients with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (>35%) for whom no prophylactic strategies exist. Periodic Repolarization Dynamics (PRD) and Deceleration Capacity (DC) of heart rate are autonomic risk markers that identify a new high risk group of patients with LVEF 35-50% who have the same poor prognosis as patients with LVEF ≤35%. In SMART-MI, post-infarction patients with LVEF 35-50% and abnormal PRD and/or DC will be randomly assigned to biomonitoring-guided therapy or conventional follow-up.
Diabetes is key risk factor for death following acute myocardial infarction. However, the long-term excess risk of death associated with diabetes following acute myocardial infarction not known. Investigators aimed to determine the long-term excess risk of death associated with diabetes among patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-STEMI (NSTEMI) after adjustment for multimorbidity, risk factors and cardiac treatments.
The primary goal • To assess the effect of atorvastatin in patients treated since the first 24-96 hours of the disease on the parameters of global and regional myocardial deformation in the infarcted area and the structural and functional properties of arteries at day 7, at 12, 24, 36 and 48 weeks of treatment; The secondary goals. To evaluate the effect of treatment: - on the parameters of the global and regional myocardial deformation in the intact area on day 7, on 12, 24, 36 and 48 weeks of treatment; - on the parameters of the global and regional myocardial deformation depending on the degree of coronary blood flow restoration by thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) - on systolic and diastolic left ventricular function in the presence of initial impairments, or absence of the negative dynamics of these parameters in case of normal baseline values; - on the clinical diagnostic criteria for the development or progression of heart failure; - the dynamics of the duration and extent of myocardial ischemia according to the daily ECG monitoring on day 7, at 12, 24, 36 and 48 weeks of treatment; - the appearance of new prognostically significant cardiac arrhythmias - on the pulse wave velocity - the thickness of the intima-media complex (IMT); 200 patients are planned to be include in a randomized, single-center, open, prospective, controlled clinical trial, the enrollment will be held at the Department of "Therapy" of Medical Institute of Penza State University. Definition of the study group: The patients with STEMI (myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation) will be included in the study - Group 1 STEMI - 100 patients receiving atorvastatin 80 mg / day for 48 weeks; - Group 2 STEMI - 100 patients receiving atorvastatin 20 mg / day for 48 weeks Planned number of patients: Pre-Screening - 300 subjects; screening and randomization - 200 subjects. Patients will be randomized by random number generation to include in the group 1 or 2. All included patients will be on the standard basis therapy of the coronary artery disease, according to the national recommendation.
