Filter by:The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the safety and exploratory efficacy of the umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells for patients with ischemic heart diseases.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether the use of bivalirudin will reduce extent of the damage done to the heart muscle in participants who suffered a heart attack, compared to the comparator treatment (heparin).
The purpose of the study is to investigate the changes of myocardial biomechanics and efficacy of doxycycline in patients with primary anterior STEMI.
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether there is an association between stroke or heart attack and reactivation of varicella zoster virus, measured by antibody levels, using linked data from the Health Survey for England and secondary care.
Prospective, randomized, open-label, single-center, investigator-initiated trial, including patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) within 12 hours of the symptom's onset. The study aims to compare platelet inhibition (pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics) of pre-hospital Ticagrelor in patients with STEMI according to two different analgesia protocols using Fentanyl or Morphine.
Approximately 60 patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction successfully treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention will be enrolled and randomized to receive the sodium tanshinone IIA sulfonate in addition to standard therapy or the same volume/day of normal saline. The primary endpoint is the variation in LV end-diastolic volume index (LVEDVi) assessed with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at baseline and 6 months.
The intent of this study is to determine the difference in pharyngeal oxygen concentration in patients who have a natural airway (not intubated) using commonly available oxygen delivery systems. The investigators will test the hypothesis that oxygen concentration during the period of inspiration (FiO2) in the pharynx is dependent on oxygen delivery system design, even at high flow (15 liters/minute) oxygen delivery. Specific measurements include oxygen concentration at subjects' lips and pharynx when breathing 100% oxygen and room air via a simple mask, non-rebreather mask, OxyMaskTM, and anesthesia mask with headstrap and Jacson Rees circuit. A mean difference of 10% pharyngeal FiO2 between any of the masks will be considered clinically important. The expected standard deviation of the within-subject FiO2 is 3.5%. With a significance criterion of 0.05, 10 subjects would provide more than 90% power to detect a mean difference of 10%.
A measurable degree of heart muscle tissue injury is expected in patients undergoing heart valvular surgery. The level of this injury can be measured by cardiac biomarkers in blood samples. Those biomarkers are used to diagnose an acute myocardial infarction. Postoperative myocardial infarction (MI) is a frequent and important complication after cardiac surgery with high morbidity and mortality. Therefore it is very important to recognize any cardiac event in patients who undergo cardiac surgery. Different diagnostic tools can be used to the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction; however few is known about the value of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTn) to diagnose a MI after heart valvular surgery. The aim of this study is to determine the upper reference limit of high-sensitivity troponin T concentration to consider the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction in patients undergoing heart valvular surgery.
COOL AMI EU Pilot Trial: A Multicenter, Prospective, Randomized Controlled Trial to Assess Cooling as an adjunctive Therapy to Percutaneous Intervention in Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction. Evaluate the retention of subjects after integrating therapeutic hypothermia using the ZOLL Proteus IVTM System into existing STEMI treatment protocols for subjects who present with acute anterior myocardial infarction.
The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the efficacy of the preconditioned autologous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells for patients with ischemic heart diseases.
