Filter by:Reducing NOX-2, MMP-9, and TGF-β1 Expression in Preventing Ventricular Remodelling Post Acute ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction using Colchicine (Post Late Reperfusion Percutaneous Coronary Intervention and Non-Reperfusion and In Vitro Study on Ischemic Rat Cardiomyocyte Culture Model). Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the most common cause of mortality and disability worldwide. The handling of reperfusion in Indonesia is still far below the required standard. Most STEMI patients in Indonesia arrive late to a health facility with symptoms that have been present for more than 12 hours (late-onset). Heart failure following a myocardial infarction is one of the long-term complications of STEMI. Patients with STEMU who do not receive reperfusion were more likely to develop this consequence. According to several studies, microtubules in cardiomyocytes have been identified as an essential regulator of cardiomyocytes' ability to respond to shear stress, which offers compression resistance and facilitates mitochondrial energy production. Microtubule densification, which occurs due to remodelling in heart failure, disrupts the microtubule network. The role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by ischemic myocardium in this remodelling is thus inextricably linked. NADPH oxidase is one of the enzymes involved (NOX). NOX-2 levels have been reported to be higher in myocardial infarction and cardiac remodelling, and it has a close interaction with microtubule network, with damage of microtubule tissue increasing NOX-2 generation of reactive oxygen species. By eroding the ECM and triggering cytokines and chemokines to recruit inflammatory cells to eliminate necrotic cardiomyocytes, matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) aids tissue rebuilding. Induction and activation of endogenous TGF-signaling pathways after myocardial infarction have also been discovered to play a function. TGF-β may play a role in the resolution of the inflammatory response in the early stages of infarct repair by inactivating macrophages and decreasing endothelial cell chemokine and cytokine production. TGF-β stimulates the fibrogenic pathway by causing extracellular matrix deposition and fibrosis later. Colchicine is a commonly prescribed anti-inflammatory medication with a low cost. the mechanism of colchicine is tubulin binding, which prevents microtubule assembly and polymerization. Colchicine inhibits microtubule development at low concentrations and promotes microtubule depolymerization at higher concentrations. Several studies have demonstrated that low-dose colchicine can help reduce severe cardiac outcomes such as cardiovascular mortality, stroke, and cardiac arrest following myocardial infarction. Colchicine is known to cause partial restoration of microtubule tissue in the perinuclear region. Colchicine has also been shown in earlier research to reduce the expression of MMP-9, NOX2, and TGF-β This study aims to evaluate whether colchicine could prevent ventricular remodelling in STEMI patients with delayed reperfusion and non reperfusion. The minor hypothesis of this study was colchicine can lower NOX-2, MMP-9, and TGF-β expression in the clinical situation of patients with delayed and non-reperfusion STEMI following PCI. Randomization with 1:1 allocation were used to classify the patients, each group include 41 patients with one group receiving colchicine therapy and standard therapy and the other receiving standard therapy only. Colchicine administration was the independent variable. STEMI patients with delayed and non-reperfusion IKP who met the inclusion criteria are included in this randomized clinical trial. Left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) was the dependent variable while serum MMP-9, NOX-2, and TGF-β were the intermediate variables. In the treatment group, colchicine 1 mg is administered before PCI or admission to the ICCU, and colchicine is continued at 0.5 mg/day for a month. Within 24 to 36 hours of treatment initiation, the patient had echocardiography, NOX-2, MMP-9, and TGF-β levels evaluated. On days 4-5, a second NOX-2, MMP-9, and TGF-β screening were performed. The follow up two months after treatment initiation includes an assessment of drug compliance, symptoms, and echocardiography. Depending on the normality of the data distribution, the difference between groups is performed using the unpaired T-test or the Mann-Whitney test. The significant difference between the treatment groups is indicated by a p-value of 0.05.
COMPLETE-2 is a prospective, multi-centre, randomized controlled trial comparing a strategy of physiology-guided complete revascularization to angiography-guided complete revascularization in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) or non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD) who have undergone successful culprit lesion Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI). COMPLETE-2 OCT is a large scale, prospective, multi-centre, observational, imaging study of patients with STEMI or NSTEMI and multivessel CAD in a subset of eligible COMPLETE-2 patients.
The aim of this study is to test the potentially protective role of myonectin in patients with a first episode of ST elevation myocardial infarction (MI) treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The main questions which are assumed to be answered after study completion: 1. Does higher myonectin concentration influence the in-hospital and 30-day course of the first ST-elevation MI in patients treated with primary coronary angioplasty 2. Is there a relationship between the serum myonectin concentration, related to patient's nutritional status and physical activity with the patient's physical activity declared as usually before the coronary event occurrence, the cardiac biomarkers level, and myocardial and skeletal muscle mass determined in order to objectify the relationship of physical activity before the infarction with 30-day and one-year mortality, and the other primary and secondary outcomes measured at 12-month visit, e.g. the extent of myocardial infarction, 3. Is there a relationship between the baseline concentration of myonectin and troponin with the control of atherosclerosis risk factors, declared physical activity and parameters of body composition, outcome of treadmill exercise test, values of echocardiographic parameters and myonectin concentration 12 months after a cardiovascular incident
To evaluate the biomarkers for the prognosis of coronary heart disease, patients with coronary heart disease will be recruited and followed up for at least 2 years.
This prospective multicenter observational cohort study is designed to study the diagnostic performance of acute-setting angiography-based FFR (e.g. vFFR) for the physiological assessment of intermediate non-culprit lesions in STEMI patients, with acute-setting FFR and acute-setting NHPR (e.g. RFR) as the reference standards.
This randomized control trial seeks to better understand the educational needs of Acute Coronary Symptom (ACS) patients including the optimal timing and method of delivery as well as linkages with appropriate community resources and supports are important for cardiac patients to self-manage post hospital discharge to improve outcomes. While there is some literature of the learning needs of ACS patients, there is a paucity of research related to the timing and preferred methods of delivery. This study aims to better understand how best to tailor care for ACS patients from hospital to community. Specifically, the investigators propose a 2 phased approach to understand the needs of patients, and then to develop and deliver a tailored approach to assess, educate and support patients both in-hospital and within the community. The intervention compares 1) a virtual remote home monitoring (RHM) platform and 2) Rapid Response Nursing (RRN) staff to follow, educate and support ACS patients post hospital discharge for a period of no more than 30 days. The Primary Objective of this study is to safely transition low risk ACS patients, from hospital to home, with appropriate supports to safely self-manage in the community and to provide educational and community supports to improve post discharge outcomes of low risk ACS patients
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the effect of eHealth-based cardiac rehabilitation with the effect of usual care on exercise capacity and qualify of life in patients after myocardial infarction.
The CBI registry is a prospective, interdisciplinary, multimodal observational registry of patients with covert brain infarction. Methods: A standardized workup in analogy to manifest ischemic stroke including cerebral MRI, long-term rhythm monitoring (3 x 7 days ECG), echocardiography, laboratory work-up and risk factor assessment as well as noninvasive angiography of the cervical and intracranial arteries will be performed.
Acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has a high disability mortality rate, and timely reperfusion treatment can significantly reduce the mortality of patients. Emergency PCI is the preferred strategy for STEMI treatment recommended by domestic and international guidelines. The long-term existence of stents can never completely avoid the formation of thrombosis in the stents and affect the relaxation and contraction of criminal blood vessels. Drug coated balloon provides a new concept and technology of interventional therapy for coronary artery disease in the form of "intervention without implantation". Through balloon dilation of local blood vessels to release anti proliferative drugs to coronary artery wall and inhibit intimal hyperplasia, it can not only treat serious coronary artery disease, improve coronary blood supply and vascular function, but also not leave permanent implants in the blood vessels; The main pathogenesis of STEMI is thrombosis based on the rupture or erosion of coronary atheromatous plaque. In terms of pathophysiological mechanism, drug coated balloons are also suitable for STEMI patients without obvious thrombosis or severe dissection after full pretreatment. The two-dimensional lumen images obtained by traditional coronary angiography can not directly reflect the vessel wall, so we can not evaluate the actual size of the vessel, plaque characteristics and the effect of intervention through coronary angiography; Optical coherence tomography (OCT) uses near-infrared scanning to produce high-resolution tissue microscopic images with a resolution of up to 10 μ m. It can clearly observe the three-layer structure of coronary artery, find abnormal intima structure, and more clearly identify thrombosis, dissection, plaque erosion or collapse in coronary artery, providing more valuable information for optimizing interventional treatment. Therefore, the application of drug coated balloon under the guidance of OCT in STEMI can provide a more accurate and optimized diagnosis and treatment scheme for STEMI patients.
Recent small subcortical infarction (RSSI) is defined as a small deep infarction in the territory of a perforating artery with maximum axial diameters (MAD) of less than 20 mm. Although RSSI is generally considered to be of a relatively favorable prognosis, about 13.5% to 43% of RSSI patients experience early neurological deterioration (END) in the acute phase, which often bring adverse effects on long-term outcomes. Although a number of risk factors for END have been identified previously, however, the risk factors of END and the underlying etiological mechanism are still ambiguous, and also the relevant intervention measures lack sufficient evidences, which is a thorny problem that clinicians have to face. In this multicenter, large-sample prospective registry study, we ought to investigate the natural course of END in patients with RSSI. Exploring the risk factors and potential mechanism of its occurrence and development, and trying to establish a comprehensive predictive model for END that integrates multi-dimensional information including clinical symptom, demographic data, biochemical biomarker and image data, and so as to provide a valuable tool for clinical evaluation and early management. Simultaneously, our study will provide information for the design of therapeutic randomized controlled trials in the future.
