Filter by:Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) represents a potential complication of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in interventional cardiology, especially in the acute setting of primary PCI. The investigators will test the efficacy of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) and N-acetylcysteine (NAC) on the prevention of acute events and CIN in patients with acute myocardial infarction.
The investigators will evaluate the effect of metformin therapy during 4 months in non-diabetic patients following ST-elevation myocardial infarction on left ventricular ejection fraction as measured with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, compared to placebo.
Double blind, prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled Safety and Efficacy trial of ADRCs delivered via the intracoronary route in the treatment of patients with ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI).
Stress hyperglycemia during myocardial infarction (MI) is related to mortality at short and long term. Recent studies, however, revealed that chronic statin treatment may decrease both insulin sensitivity and secretion immediately after statin therapy initiation. This study aim was to investigate the dose-dependent effect of statins on insulin sensitivity in patients in the acute phase of MI.
The aim of this study was to measure the effect of moderate and intensive lipid-lowering treatment with rosuvastatin on the carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) as a surrogate marker of cardiovascular risk.
The Sweetheart register (Risk management of Diabetics with acute myocardial infarction) documents both the prevalence of pathologic glucose metabolism in consecutive high-risk patients with STEMI and NSTEMI in daily hospital routine as well as the anti-diabetic acute and long-term therapy. Furthermore the register will provide data about the implementation of new guidelines for the interventional and adjuvant medical therapy of STEMI and NSTEMI.
OPTAMI documents the characteristics of consecutive patients with acute STEMI and NSTEMI in hospital everyday-life in Germany, their acute and adjuvant medication treatment, events until discharge (e.g. mortality, stroke, re-MI), and their medication for secondary prevention at discharge. In the follow up-period of one year, information is collected concerning events as mortality, stroke, re-MI, coronary interventions (PCI, CABG) and re-hospitalisation. The implementation of guideline-adjusted therapy in hospital everyday-life is reviewed. The usefulness of the European standard for data acquisition in cardiology (CARDS = Cardiology Audit and Registration Standards) is evaluated.
The purpose of this study is to compare p53-induced genes activation as possible markers differentiating between patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction and controls.
Although a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) can be used to open up the blocked artery and restore blood flow to the heart muscle after myocardial infarction, there may be a significant amount of heart tissue that has been irreversibly damaged. Recent studies have shown that adult stem cells from bone marrow may be able to improve heart function and prevent from heart remodeling due to heart failure. This study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of using adult bone marrow derived stem cells for improving heart function in MI patients with Left Anterior Descending (LAD) involvement.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether intracoronary injection of morphine chlorhydrate is effective to limit ischemia-reperfusion lesion during percutaneous coronary angioplasty in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
