Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effectiveness of Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cell (UC MSC) therapy in patients with STEMI against infarct myocardial size reduction and prevent the incidence of heart failure in the future
Stroke remains the second leading cause of death worldwide, with 2%-8% of these being large hemispheric infarction (LHI) with an occupying effect and the worst prognosis. Even with medical and surgical treatment, the mortality of LHI with cerebral edema is as high as 20% to 30%. Current guidelines recommend supportive supervision, osmotic drugs, and decompressive hemicraniectomy (DHC) for the treatment of LHI, but not all patients with LHI are suitable for DHC, and not all of them can afford the high cost of DHC. In the real-world, the use of osmotic drugs is more common than DHC. The guideline recommends using mannitol or hypertonic saline to reduce cerebral edema and tissue displacement in patients with cerebral edema. Mannitol is the most widely used and longest-standing osmotic drug, and since 1965, hypertonic saline has been used to treat intracranial hypertension. Most of the previous studies compare the efficacy of DHC over medical therapy or compare the efficacy of mannitol with hypertonic saline, but there is an absence of clinical data on whether osmotic drug therapy can improve the clinical prognosis of patients with large hemispheric infarction at 90 days or even longer. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the association between the osmotic drug and clinical outcomes in large hemispheric infarction, with the aim of informing clinical decisions.
Magnetocardiography (MCG) is a promising noninvasive and accurate method for detecting myocardial infarction. Although progress has been made in this area, there is a lack of studies using up-to-date examination instruments for the calibration of MCG analysis. This is a prospective single-center study aiming to build accurate analytical models of MCG to detect myocardial infarction. Myocardial infarction are diagnosed by electrocardiogram, biomarkers (high-sensitivity cardiac troponin, etc), or non-invasive imaging (cardiac magnetic resonance or single-photon-emission tomography). Myocardial infarction is also quantified by cardiac magnetic resonance or single-photon-emission tomography. Healthy volunteers and chest pain patients who will receive electrocardiogram, biomarkers (high-sensitivity cardiac troponin, etc), or non-invasive imaging (cardiac magnetic resonance or single-photon-emission tomography) examination will be enrolled in this study.
Myocardial infarction (MI) is a major contributor to morbidity and mortality in China. The goal of this interventional, randomised controlled clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a single administration of Nivolumab to the patients presenting with an acute anterior ST-segmental elevated myocardial infarction. Researchers will investigate if Nivolumab treatment can effectively and safely reduce infarct size as well as improve cardiac function of the patients with acute myocardial infarction.
The goal of this phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial is to explore the safety and efficacy of dutogliptin administered subcutaneously (SC) in co-administration with filgrastim in adult patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of dutogliptin compared with placebo in STEMI patients within 180 days of randomization measured by the time of first occurrence of a composite endpoint of cardiovascular (CV) death and worsening heart failure (HF) within 180 days. Participants will receive dutogliptin twice daily subcutaneously (SC) for 14 days and filgrastim (SC) daily for 5 days or placebo.
Subjects with urgently reperfused type I myocardial infarction (MI) will be recruited and randomized to receive either placebo or the oral inflammasome (NLRP3) inhibitor dapansutrile. The primarily outcome measure will be carotid plaque volume change over 6 months; secondary outcome measures will be plaque inflammatory activity and coronary microvascular function.
Malignant Middle Cerebral Artery (MCA) infarction is a term used for the severe clinical and neurological hemispheric syndrome caused by ischemic occlusion of the proximal tract of MCA and it is observed in near the 10% of all ischemic strokes.In order to prevent the severe consequences caused by malignant MCA infarction, decompressive hemicraniectomy has been proposed as early intervention against the expected clinical worsening due to endocranial hypertension and several trials demonstrated how it positively affects the mortality and morbidity rates compared to conservative management. However, patients undergoing decompressive hemicraniectomy generally encounter other kinds of complications, related to the consequences of the surgical procedure. With the intent of reducing these complications, alternative decompression techniques have been proposed, such as hinge or floating craniectomy or augmentative craniotomy, in which the bony operculum is left in place. These alternative methods of cranial decompression have been shown to have similar efficacy to standard craniectomy, but comparative trials have never been conducted.In the present protocol, the investigators present a study design that compares the standard decompressive hemicraniectomy to a novel technique of augmentative craniotomy. The rationale of the study is to maintain the important advantages related to brain decompression in malignant MCA infarction while avoiding the complications related to the surgical procedure of hemicraniectomy.
The goal of this observational study is to compare severity and mortality rates of acute cerebral infarction(requiring thrombolysis or endovascular recanalization) depending on the type of oral antidiabetic drug taken before the onset of cerebral infarction. Researchers will compare the group that used DPP-4 inhibitors as anti-diabetic drugs before cerebral infarction and the group that did not use them to see the effect of DPP-4 inhibitors in reducing severity of cerebral infarction.
By including patients with acute myocardial infarction, mast cell markers were analyzed and the relationship between mast cells and patients with acute myocardial infarction was analyzed
The purpose of this research is to find out if patients with Type 2 Myocardial Infarction (T2MI) without significant epicardial coronary artery disease (CAD) have a greater chance of having coronary microvascular disease (CMD).
