Filter by:To determine the feasibility of 64Cu-DOTA-ECL1i, an investigational PET imaging drug, at the cellular level in the myocardium for individuals who have suffered a heart attack or who have other inflammatory heart disease.
- 2D Echocardiography with color Doppler assessment: It will be done within 24 h after PPCI - Peripheral blood samples were obtained within 48 hours after acute MI, and the serum will be frozen at -70°C until tested for Galactin-3 level. - Follow up 2D Doppler echocardiography: will be repeated at 40 days of the event.
Patients post acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have a high risk of mortality but the use of an implantable defibrillator in the early aftermath of an AMI has not been shown to improve patients' survival. The VEST trial recently demonstrated an improved overall survival in post AMI patients with the use of a wearable defibrillator. The same improvement was not demonstrated for the risk of sudden cardiac death. Monitoring patients after AMI using an implantable cardiac monitor (ICM) may document findings that can impact patient management and eventually improve their outcomes. We are therefore conducting the AID MI trial to examine the impact of ICM on patient management in the post AMI setting.
This is a prospective, open, single-arm, the real world of clinical trials. The researchers plan to recruit 300 eligible patients. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of butylphthalide in the treatment of ischemic stroke, and to establish a population pharmacokinetic model of butylphthalide in elderly patients to explore its blood drug concentration. Correlation with its efficacy and adverse reactions.
PROPHET-FFR is a single center ambispective registry aiming to explore the impact of post-revascularization functional assessment on later outcomes.
Dapagliflozin is one of the SGLT-2 inhibiters. Recent clinical trials have demonstrated that SGLT-2 inhibitors are effective for treating heart failure. The DAPA-HF clinical trial has demonstrated that the effects of empagliflozin and dapagliflozin improve renal outcomes and reduce all-cause and cardiovascular death in patients with HFrEF[1]. However, its effect on myocardial infarction, the most common disease leading to death in the population, has not been evaluated sufficiently. A meta-analysis has demonstrated that compared with the control, SGLT2 inhibitor is associated with a reduction in the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), myocardial infarction, cardiovascular mortality and all-cause mortality[2]. It seems that dapagliflozin might be effective for patients with acute myocardial infarction based on these studies. Thus, this study aims to evaluate the effect of dapagliflozin on short-term prognosis in patients with acute myocardial infarction compared to placebo. 1.

The aim of the prospective observational DISTEMI-Study in people with and without Diabetes mellitus (DI) after new onset of ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) aged 18-80 years at inclusion into the study is to characterize in detail the clinical, metabolical, immunological and vascular phenotype, investigate the interplay between myocardial remodelling and the metabolic phenotype, monitor the progression of the disease and compare the phenotype of STEMI people with diabetes mellitus to people with prediabetes and glucose tolerant people.
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is an event of myocardial necrosis caused by myocardial ischemia. Although the incidence and economic burden of AMI has declined in high-income countries, the incidence rate of AMI in China has increased dramatically over the past several decades. Initial medical therapy combined with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is currently the most important advance in restoring coronary perfusion. Timely reperfusion therapy may halt the progress of necrosis and preserve viable tissue; however, it can also induce myocardial injury and cause cardiomyocyte death, a phenomenon called myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI), which can increase final myocardial infarct size by up to 50%. Unfortunately, there is no effective intervention for preventing IRI to date, though an improved understanding of the pathophysiology of IRI has led to the suggestion of several innovative therapeutic strategies with the potential for reducing unintended negative side effects of reperfusion therapy in AMI patients. Whether there is a therapeutic intervention that can effectively and safely reduce myocardial infarct size and cardiac mortality has been intensely explored over the years. Against this backdrop, a phenomenon called remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) has long been discussed as a potential approach to address the above issues. The purpose of present study is to investigate the efficacy of perioperative remote ischemic conditioning delivered at individual timepoints (e.g., pre-, per- and post-PCI) on myocardial injury in patients with AMI.
Results from recent clinical trials on bone marrow mononuclear cell (BM-MNC) transplantation show that this intervention can help reduce the incidence of heart failure (HF) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, no study has evaluated the effect of the transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on a clinical endpoint such as HF. This single-blinded, randomized, multicenter trial aims to establish whether the intracoronary infusion of umbilical cord-derived Wharton's jelly MSCs (WJ-MSCs) helps prevent HF development after AMI. The study will enroll 240 patients 3 to 7 days following an AMI treated with primary percutaenous coronary intervention (PPCI). Only patients aged below 65 years with impaired LV function (LVEF < 40%) will be included. They will be randomized to receive either a single intracoronary infusion of WJ-MSCs or standard care. The primary outcome of this study is the assessment of HF development during long-term follow-up (four years). Since the efficacy of MSCs is higher than BM-MNCs after AMI in the improvement of LVEF, it would be probable that these cells may have a better clinical effect as well. However, no study has evaluated the impact of the transplantation of MSCs on a clinical endpoint such as HF. This study will help determine whether or not the infusion of intracoronary WJ-MSCs in patients
Cerebral infarction brings heavy burden to patients and families with high morbidity, mortality, disability and recurrence rate. Anti-platelet aggregation therapy plays important role for secondary prevention of cerebral infarction. G6PD deficiency is a rare genetic disorder, patients with this disorder could suffer hemolysis after eating broad beans. Professor Zeng Jinsheng et al found that the hemolysis risk of G6PD deficiency patients was significantly increased when aspirin was applied in Guangdong Province. However, the prevalence of G6PD deficiency in northern China remains unknown, as well as the safety of antiplatelet therapy. To this end, 1000 patients with acute cerebral infarction will be continuously included in 30 second-level and above hospitals in 10 prefectures and cities of Shaanxi Province for observation and follow-up for 12 months, to explore the prevalence of G6PD deficiency in cerebral infarction patients in Shaanxi Province, and to analyze the relationship between G6PD deficiency and the clinical characteristics and prognosis of cerebral infarction. To clarify the efficacy and safety of antiplatelet therapy for G6PD patients with cerebral infarction is of great significance for guiding the individualized treatment of cerebral infarction.
