Filter by:A number of inflammatory markers have been recognized, among which the acute phase reactant C-reactive protein showed a positive correlation with the risk of coronary artery disease in both healthy individuals and those at high risk . Pentraxin 3 is expressed in atherosclerotic plaques, mainly in macrophages and neutrophils, suggesting that pentraxin 3 may be involved in the progression of atherosclerotic plaque. - A number of studies demonstrated that increased levels of Pentraxin 3 were associated with the presence and increased severity of coronary artery disease in clinically stable patients undergoing elective coronary angiography . - Pentraxin 3 levels peak at about 7 h after acute MI, which is substantially earlier than CRP, and thus PTX3 could be a better independent predictor of CHD than CRP . - Recently, it was shown that the number of the involved vessels, MI type, stent length, culprit lesion, and the need for PCI all had a significant relation with abnormal Pentraxin 3 levels , however, it was not studied with respect of its relation with postprocedural angiographic and clinical outcomes. We thought to evaluate the role of pentraxin-3 on the preprocedural determinants (Grace score, type of MI, culprit lesion, lesion length, pre-procedural TIMI flow, thrombus burden, severity and complexity of CAD as determined by Syntax score and procedural outcome (post-procedural TIMI flow, no reflow and myocardial perfusion assessed by myocardial blush grade as well as the inhospital clinical outcome of primary Percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with acute ST elevation myocardial infarction.
This study is a first-in-human assessment of safety of using UCMSC in patients with AMI via a combination of IC and IV stem cell administration. The novelty of the current UMSC01 treatment study is the dual route of administration. Since dual administration of UCMSC via IC and IV had never been conducted in humans, there may be unknown risks to humans not predicted from the preclinical studies. However, the risk to patients in this trial will be minimized by rigorous adherence to the eligibility criteria, use of appropriate dose and concentration of stem cells, standardized techniques of stem cell infusion, and intensive patient monitoring during and after stem cell infusion.
The aim of this randomized controlled trial to investigate the effects of CPAP treatment on myocardial salvage index and clinical outcomes at 3 months in patients with OSA and ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI).
Specific objectives: - Evaluation of morbidity and mortality associated with the severity of pharyngeal residue in patients admitted to Hotêl-Dieu de France university hospital for Stroke based on the "The Yale pharyngeal residue scale" - Evaluation of the accuracy of screening protocol of Dysphagia at the Emergency Department in patients admitted for stoke based on the "Emergency Department Dysphagia Screening Tool"
The innovation in this preliminary study is the use of message reminders in patients after myocardial infarction in stage I of rehabilitation (ie discharge from hospital) at home via SMS, compared with studies of patients undergoing cardiac rehabilitation (stage II)in the hospital physiotherapy department.
A multi-center study will be done to explore the optimal regimen of antithrombotic therapy for acute myocardial infarction with left ventricular mural thrombus. The investigators will evaluate the different combinations of antiplatelet drugs and anticoagulants for at least one month, such as aspirin 100mg qd+clopidogrel 75mg qd+warfarin (INR1.8-2.2), aspirin 100mg qd+clopidogrel 75mg qd+dabigatran 110mg bid, aspirin 100mg qd+ticagrelor 60mg bid+warfarin (INR1.8-2.2), and aspirin 100mg qd+ticagrelor 60mg bid+dabigatran 110mg bid. Transthoracic two-dimensional echocardiography will be done at the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month follow-ups to evaluate the left ventricular mural thrombus and determinate whether the antithrombotic therapy regimen could be regulated to double antiplatelet or anticoagulant+clopidogrel 75mg qd/ticagrelor 60mg bid. Then the investigators will complete the 12-month follow-up to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the optimal antithrombotic therapy regimen for acute myocardial infarction with left ventricular mural thrombus.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the change of cholesterol efflux capacity in patients with coronary artery disease treated with secondary prevention drugs, and the correlation with the prognosis.
The benefit of a drug-eluting stent (DES) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is controversial. This study will aim to observe the effect of a DES on the risk of new-onset AF in patients with AMI.
A Multicenter, Prospective, Randomized-Controlled Trial to Assess Cooling as an Adjunctive Therapy to Percutaneous Intervention In Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction. The Phase A portion of the trial will include 80 enrollments from up to 15 sites.
Silent brain infarction (SBI) or incidental infarct is common. Recent studies revealed individuals with SBI have an increased risk of future stroke. Even though the 2014 AHA/ASA recommendation for ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack considered SBI as an entry point for secondary prevention, convincing evidence with regard to the preventive efficacy of antiplatelet therapy against incident stroke in SBI is scant. Investigators examine if antiplatelet therapy can effectively decrease the incidence of future stroke in SBI individuals.
