Filter by:Statins have been approved to benefit patients underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The current study is designed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Sequential Therapy of Atorvastatin in patients with ST-elevated myocardial infarction and receive PCI treatment.
The aim of this observational study is to evaluate the in hospital and 6 month outcomes of the use of Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor eptifibatide as adjunctive therapy in patients undergoing primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for ST-elevation myocardial infarction in a large tertiary referral center. It is hypothesized that Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor use during primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for ST-elevation myocardial infarction/ acute myocardial infarction is superior to unfractionated heparin alone or bivalirudin alone. Additionally, after propensity matching this superiority remains.
The intent of this clinical study is to answer the questions: 1) Is the proposed treatment safe? and 2) Is treatment effective in improving cardiac function and clinical outcomes?
The MAGNetic QRS-Fragmentation in Patients with Myocardial InfarcTion and Moderately RedUceD Ejection Fraction (MAGNITUDE) study will assess in MI survivors with moderately reduced left ventricular function, whether non-invasive MFI QRS Fragmentation alone or in combination with parameters derived from a Holter recording can be used to identify a group of patients at high risk for SCD/life threatening ventricular arrhythmia.
To investigate the effect of vitamin D deficiency on the development of arrhythmia in patients with acute myocardial infarction.
VCU-ART3 is a double-blind randomized clinical trial of anakinra high dose vs anakinra standard dose vs placebo in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) measuring the effects on the acute rise and fall of the plasma C reactive protein levels during the first 14 days.
Acute myocardial infarction is characterized by an intense inflammatory response. The degree of the response influences clinical outcome, with 'more' inflammation promoting heart failure. In this study we plan to determine whether treatment with plasma derived alpha-1 antitrypsin will quench the inflammatory response in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
- There is evidence that inflammatory processes may play detrimental role during the acute phase of myocardial infarction - The hypothesis of this study is that colchicine, by its anti-inflammatory action, may lead to reduction in infarct size, when administered during the acute phase of myocardial infarction
Ticagrelor is a first line therapy along with aspirin for patients undergoing primary PCI for STEMI. However, many patients are still treated with fibrinolytic therapy and the safety and efficacy of Ticagrelor has not been investigated in this patients population. The present study is proposed to study the safety and efficacy of Ticagrelor in patients undergoing PCI post fibrinolytic therapy for STEMI.
The study compares the therapies of instant multivessel balloon angioplasty plus stent implantation or the balloon angioplasty plus stent implantation of the infarct artery alone with any possible graduated later treatment of the other vessels in patients with acute myocardial infarction with cardioganic shock. The main study hypothesis is to explore if culprit vessel only PCI with potentially subsequent staged revascularization in comparison to immediate multivessel revascularization by PCI in patients with cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction reduces the incidence of 30- day mortality and/or severe renal failure requiring renal replacement therapy.
