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.
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.
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.
Cardiogenic shock a serious complication of a heart attack (myocardial infarction). Despite rapid invasive treatment, circulatory support using positive inotropes and mechanical support with intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation (IABP), and evaluation of several new treatments during the last decade, the mortality in patients with cardiogenic shock still exceeds 50%. An alternative to current management is restoration of the volume of blood pumped by the heart (cardiac output) using a ventricular assist device. In the acute setting this is difficult but can be done using the Impella device which is a catheter-based, axial flow pump that pumps blood directly from the left ventricle into the circulation thereby restoring blood flow to the failing organs. In 2012 a more powerful Impella has been introduced that is able to deliver 3.5l/min (approximately 75% of a normal cardiac output). The hypothesis of the current study is to reduce mortality and morbidity of patients with cardiogenic shock using the Impella CP. The study will be carried out as a randomized multicenter study where eligible patients will be randomized to receive conventional circulatory support or support with the Impella device and inotropic support if needed. A total of 360 patients are planned to be enrolled, and the primary endpoint will be death.
In this Prestudy which will be followed by the multicentral GEx- main-trial, the feasibility of a new cardiac rehabilitation device (GEx system) is proved with coronary heart disease patients who participate in cardiac rehabilitation training exercise at the rehabilitation clinic (phase II) and subsequently at home (phase III). The GEx system consists of a easy-to-wear vest with integrated electrodes to measure electrocardiogram (ECG), respiration and activity, furthermore of a PDA to collect and store the monitored data and a cradle to charge the batteries. Several physiological parameters are extracted from thes measured vital signs like heart rate, breathing rate, ECG and activity. In this pretrial first the GEx sensor system is validated during guided exercise of the patients in the rehabilitation clinic (phase II). Subsequently at home (phase III) the practicability of the vest and sensors and possible technical problems in real- life use are proved. This means after moderate training like walking, cycling or running at home for 3 weeks patients will report the feasibility of usage. The ECG data and breathing- frequency data will be analyzed to see if data are recorded and transmitted well in regard to technical problems.
The objective of the study is to evaluate the performance and intended use of a new cardiac biomarker test, Troponin I, in an intended use population. Blood specimens will be tested using the new investigational test that detects the level of Troponin I. Results will be compared to the diagnosis of whether or not an acute myocardial infarction (MI) occurred.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of the previously conducted clinical trial cell transplant therapy using Hearticellgram-AMI for patients with acute myocardial infarction. This is a follow-up observational study and targeting the subjects who participated in the previously conducted clinical trial.
The aim of this study is to evaluate safety and efficacy performances of CRE8 Drug Eluting Stent, in patients comparable to the everyday's clinical practice population, with a specific focus on diabetics, that will be part of a pre-specified study subgroup.
The objective of the study was to compare treatment with two different oral formulations of metoprolol, metoprolol immediate release (IR) and metoprolol extended release (CR/XL) in patients with acute myocardial infarction regarding the following: Pharmacokinetics, peak and trough plasma concentrations and area under the plasma concentration curve. Pharmacodynamics, hourly means of Holter recorded heart rate. Tolerability. An open, randomised design with two parallel groups was employed.
