Filter by:The study is prospective, open-label, randomized, single-center study involving patients admitted on an emergency basis with an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) clinic who underwent PCI of an infarct-related artery (IRA) and had intermediate coronary artery lesions (50-70% stenosis diameter) and elevated LDL-C ( > 1.4 mmol/l) despite statin therapy at the highest dosage. Patients who showed high compliance and did not reach the target LDL-C values 1 month after the development of ACS on the 2nd visit will be randomized into two groups of 60 patients each. Group 1 - taking PCSK9 inhibitors (Alirocumab 150 mg by subcutaneous injection once every 2 weeks or Evolocumab 140 mg by subcutaneous injection once every 2 weeks - open-label prescription of drugs) while taking Atorvastatin at a dose of 80 mg / day. Group 2 - receiving Ezetimibe at a dose of 10 mg in combination with Atorvastatin 80 mg / day.
HARKIT I-Care is a mobile application developed by the National Cardiovascular Center Harapan Kita (NCCHK) to leverage patients in achieving their targets for the secondary prevention of cardiovascular diseases. The application contains various features, including exercise tracking and reminder, medication reminder, and updated educational content on cardiovascular health. Additionally, patients can log and record their blood pressure, heart rate, smoking behavior, Quality of Life, and laboratory parameters such as blood sugar and cholesterol. Our research aims to investigate whether implementing this app in post-acute coronary syndrome patients could improve their survival rate, hospitalization rate, medication adherence, and Quality of Life, along with improving their laboratory parameters to be within desirable targets.
The purpose of the present pilot study is to evaluate the feasibility and potential efficacy of a brief, internet-delivered CBT protocol provided early after acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
the study aims to 1. identify the effect of addiction on TIMI flow in patients presented with acute coronary syndrome. 2. identify the effect of addiction on outcomes of medical treatment of patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome. 3. identify the relation between addiction and LV function. 4. detect the effect of duration of addiction on myocardial infarction lesion and outcomes of pci.
This study aimed to clarify the relationship between blood glucose control and the FAI based pericoronary inflammation in low-risk ACS patients with or without diabetes. The results of this study are expected to provide evidence that quantitative assessment of pericoronary FAI helps monitor the local inflammatory activation in diabetic patients with poor glycemic control, therefore, pericoronary FAI evaluation, as a noninvasive imaging biomarker, plays an important role in early detecting coronary atherosclerosis risk in diabetes and allow timely providing appropriate risk reduction strategies in patients at high risk for future cardiovascular events.
Patients who suffered from acute coronary syndrome (ACS) are usually treated with a long-term dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) to reduce stent thrombosis and recurrent ischemic event. Nonetheless, recent important data have demonstrated the efficacy of a short term DAPT and an early single antiplatelet therapy in high bleeding and ischemic risk patients. The bleeding risk is associated with a significant mortality. This risk is especially high in patients treated with potent P2Y12 inhibitors like ticagrelor or prasugrel after an ACS. As a result of the abounding data regarding the safety of an early single antiplatelet therapy with high potency antiplatelet therapy (ticagrelor or prasugrel), it is likely that such strategy will soon be implemented in the guidelines. The benefits of these high-potency P2Y12 inhibitors over clopidogrel mostly occur in patients with genetic polymorphisms of CYP2Y12 associated with a loss of function in clopidogrel metabolism. Furthermore, the anti-ischemic benefit of potent P2Y12 inhibitors over clopidogrel occurs early, while excess bleeding events often arise during chronic treatment. Our hypothesis is that a systematic and rapid genetic screening of CYP2C90 *2 or *17 polymorphism to guide an early single therapy with low potency antiplatelet (aspirin or clopidogrel) could lead to less bleeding events with a consistent efficacy towards cardiac events compared with high potency antiplatelet therapies (prasugrel or ticagrelor) in high bleeding risk patients treated for ACS.
Direct-acting oral anticoagulants (DOACs) have provided benefits to patients requiring anticoagulation for certain diseases by decreasing the burden of subcutaneous injections and the requirement for frequent monitoring through regular blood tests. DOACs do not require monitoring, have a more predictable pharmacokinetic (dosing) profile and have fewer interactions with other drugs. Various studies have reported the efficacy and safety of different dual-acting anticoagulants around the globe. However, there is little data available from Pakistan. Therefore, investigators propose this study to assess the efficiency and safety of rivaroxaban and clopidogrel along with aspirin in patients suffering from acute coronary syndrome. The objective of this study is to investigate the efficacy of dual anticoagulants i.e. aspirin plus rivaroxaban versus aspirin plus clopidogrel in patients suffering from acute coronary syndrome in terms of secondary prophylaxis. All the patient records will be documented in Case Report Form (CRF) at each visit. All data will be recorded in individual source documents. All CRF information is to be filled in by site staff. If an item is not available or is not applicable, this fact should be indicated. Blank spaces should not be present unless otherwise directed. The study monitor will perform source data verification of data entered into the CRF. The data entered into the CRF will be subject to data validation checks for consistency and completeness by the data management group. All CRFs should be maintained on the system with details of any changes logged accordingly.
The goal of this international multicenter study is to develop a scoring system to identify the risk of developing cardiogenic shock (CS) in patients suffering from acute coronary syndrome (ACS) utilising artificial intelligence. Study hypothesis: A complex machine learning (ML) model utilising standard patient's admission data predicts the development of cardiogenic shock in patients suffering from acute myocardial infarction better than standard prediction models. Study objectives: The primary objective of this study is to further improve predictive parameters of #STOPSHOCK model for prediction of development of cardiogenic shock in patients suffering from acute myocardial infarction. The secondary objective of this study is to develop a new predictive model for the development of cardiogenic shock in patients suffering from acute myocardial infarction based on larger combined cohort of patients utilising advanced ML algorithms, continuous model performance monitoring and continual learning.
This is an multicenter, randomized, controlled, parallel group study. ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) patients with high thrombus burden(HTB) will be allocated to one of the following: intrathrombus thrombolysis or manual aspiration thrombectomy during primary percutaneous coronary intervention(PPCI).
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is one of the most important causes of mortality and morbidity all over the world. Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a crucial part of secondary prevention and optimal care of patients with ACS. However, the participation rate in CR after ACS is far from expected. In our study, we will aim to examine the rate of participation in cardiac rehabilitation and the factors affecting it in patients followed up for acute coronary syndrome in the coronary intensive care unit of our hospital. Our main hypothesis is that the lower rate of participation in cardiac rehabilitation in patients with acute coronary syndrome is associated with one or more of that older age, female gender, multimorbidity, poor functional capacity, lower health literacy level or quality of life levels.
