Filter by:The study would enrolled a total of 2100 AMI patients undergoing PCI to one of three antithrombotic regimens: bivalirudin alone, or unfractionated heparin alone, or unfractionated heparin plus a glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor. All enrolled patients would be followed-up to 30 days, 6 months, and 1 year. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bivalirudin in AMI patients with DES.
Large randomised trials have shown that cardiovascular medications prescribed to patients at high cardiovascular risk are effective in reducing the incidence of cardiovascular events. Their use is recommended in the United Kingdom and international guidelines (e.g. the National Institute of Clinical Excellence). However, these medications do not prevent cardiovascular events in all patients and there is now a body of research investigating the effects of cardiovascular medications on outcomes in myocardial infarction (MI), including clinical presentation, infarct size and post-MI mortality. However, the independent effects of cardiovascular drugs on post-MI all cause mortality are unclear, and there are limitations to many of the published studies in terms of their cardiovascular drug exposure data. This project utilizes prospectively collected data on cardiovascular drug use, and links to MI data from hospital and mortality records.
Randomized trial to test the efficacy and safety of newer Drug Eluting Stent generation in patient with acute myocardial infarction treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)
The purpose of this registry is to determine if delivery of weight adjusted, in a large dose with either Abcixmab or Eptifibitide through the ClearWay™ RX, in patients admitted for primary coronary intervention lowers readmission rate. This is done in comparison to the historical control of the Medicare/Medicaid readmission database. The registry will record the use of the product during the index procedure, and determine whether or not the patient was readmitted within 30 days, related to the index procedure.
Remote ischaemic conditioning (RIC) is known to reduce infarct size post MI when used in the peri/immediate post infarct period. However little is known as to the effect of repeated remote conditioning post-MI (Myocardial Infarction) on not only infarct size, but also on ventricular remodeling and ultimately cardiac failure. In this phase II first in man trial, the investigators intend to carry out daily remote ischaemic conditioning in post MI patients. The principal hypothesis is that RIC applied on a daily basis for 4 weeks following a heart attack improves the ejection fraction at 4 months as assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.
Although the pre-procedural neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (N/L) has been associated with adverse outcomes among patients with coronary artery disease, its role during the acute phase of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has not been fully investigated. This study sought to investigate the association of the pre-procedural N/L ratio within-hospital and long-term outcomes among STEMI patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
This study aims at evaluating the diagnostic efficacy of Gadobutrol versus Gadobenate dimeglumine at similar dose of 0.1mmol/kg for assessment of myocardial infarction by delayed enhancement cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Infarct size is a major determinant of prognosis after myocardial infarction (MI). It has been reported that Cyclosporine A (CsA) administered immediately prior to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) significantly could reduce reperfusion injury and consequently infarct size in ST elevation MI (STEMI) patients. CYCLE trial is a multicenter, controlled, randomized open label study, with blind assessment of endpoint measures. The objective is to determine whether a single i.v. dose of CsA within 6 hour onset of symptoms of STEMI in 444 patients, improves outcomes after successful primary PCI, by reducing myocardial injury associated to reperfusion.
Objective of this registry study is to compare strategy of complete vs. target lesion-only primary PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention) in IRA (infarct related artery) in STEMI (ST elevation myocardial infarction) patients.
The aim of this study is to elucidate the efficacy and safety of pharmacoinvasive therapy by using prourokinase (prouk), a unique fibrin-specific agent, in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI)
