Filter by:The CIAKI,as the third complication of PCI, was associated with adverse cardiac events after procedure. Moreover, because the rate of periprocedure hydration is inadequate in STEMI patients before primary PCI, the incidence of CIAKI is higher significantly in these patients. The cardiovascular pleiotropic effects of statins in addition to lipid have been widely concerned. The previous studies demonstrated usage of statin in periprocedure could decrease the risk of CIAKI. Compared with hydration, the usage of statin to prevention CIAKI show the advantages in clinical practice, for example，there is no need to consider the cardiac function.The optimal strategies for preventting CIAKI in STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI needed further studies to explore. What's more, whether a synergistic effect of hydration and statin or not is unknown.
This study will determine the impact of Transcutaneous Vagus Stimulation(TVNS) and autonomic modulation of inflammation in patients admitted with " acute heart attack." After admission for "acute heart attack" or "myocardial infarction" patients will be randomized to either TVNS or placebo and their blood samples will be collected at different time points during admission and post discharge. Blood samples will be analyzed for various markers of inflammation.
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 relationship between admission MPV, PDW, platelet function test and ST-segment resolution in STEMI patients treated with either thrombolytic therapy or primary percutaneous coronary intervention - The relationship between admission MPV, PDW, platelet function test and high thrombus burden & post-PCI Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) flow of infarct related artery in STEMI patients treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention
Introduction: Expiratory flow limitation (EFL) and ventilatory inefficiency during dynamic exercise have been identified in patients with recent myocardial infarction (RMI) with preserved ventricular and pulmonary function. However, it is not known what is the prevalence of EFL in this population and what are the effects of physical and respiratory training on this limitation. Objectives: To evaluate the prevalence of EFL and ventilatory inefficiency during dynamic exercise in individuals with uncomplicated RMI, and to evaluate the effects of interval physical training (IT) in addition to inspiratory muscle training (IMT), exclusive IT and absence of cardiopulmonary rehabilitation (CR) on EFL and ventilatory efficiency. Methods: 54 patients will be included, divided into three groups with 18 participants each. All will be submitted to evaluations of heart rate variability, hematological and biochemical profile, erythrocytes membrane deformability and stability, inflammatory markers, respiratory pressures, plethysmography, spirometry, carbon monoxide diffusion capacity, ankle brachial index, electrical bioimpedance, echocardiogram, quality of life questionnaires, cardiopulmonary exercise testing and constant load tests. Then, groups 1 (IT) and group 2 (IT + IMT) will participate in a physical training program for 12 weeks and will be re-evaluated after this period. In addition, they will be monitored for a 6 month period after discharge, with returns every two months to measure the energy expenditure through an accelerometer, and at the end of this period they will repeat all the tests again. Group 3 (absence of CR), will consist of patients who do not live in the city or those who can not participate in the CR program for any other reason, and will only participate in the evaluations.
In the proposed project the investigators want to assess whether the approach of the post-conditioning by Levosimendan in patients with acute STEMI is safe and reproducible, can be used with a positive influence on the outcomes with respect to myocardial damage, cardiac left ventricular remodeling, myocardial function, the occurrence of cardiac events and quality of life.
The aim of this study is to determine the immuno-modulatory mechanistic effects of colchicine in patients with myocardial infarction (MI). Investigators hypothesize that colchicine exerts its anti-inflammatory properties by switching the metabolism of neutrophils, thereby reducing the expression of adhesion molecules responsible for their recruitment in MI.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of testosterone replacement in hypogonadal men on exercise tolerance and cardiac rehabilitation after an acute myocardial infarction.
