Filter by:Recent guidelines for the management of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) recommend against the routine use of thrombus aspiration (TA) during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) (Class III indication). Yet, so far, there is limited data regarding its role STEMI patients with heavy thrombus burden (TB). The aim of this trial is to evaluate the effects of manual TA and PCI in comparison to conventional PCI alone in a real-life clinical trial among heavy TB STEMI patients undergoing PPCI.
This is a double-blind, multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial. It is planned to enroll patients admitted with anterior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) within 6h of symptom onset and undergo primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI). Patients who meet the inclusion criteria and without exclusion criteria were randomized 1:1 into the dexmedetomidine (DEX) group or the placebo (saline) group after signing the informed consent. In the DEX group, intravenous injection of DEX was started immediately after enrollment, covering the entire PCI operation, and the administration was stopped at the end of the pPCI. The administration of saline was the same as those in the DEX group. The primary endpoint was the myocardial infarct size (MIS) as assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) at 5±2 days post-STEMI. Based on a superiority design and assuming an 20.0% relative infarct size reduction (from 26.0% to 20.8% with a SD of 13.0%), 250 patients are required to be enrolled, accounting for 20% drop-out (α= 0.05 and power= 80%).
The primary objective of the PERI-STEMI trial is to assess whether sacubitril-valsartan is more effective in preventing adverse LV remodeling for patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) than enalapril.
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center, phase 2 clinical study in patients with NSTEMI undergoing urgent coronary angiography. Approximately 220 patients with CKD and acute NSTEMI, who are scheduled for an urgent coronary angiography (within 72 hours after admission and/or diagnosis of NSTEMI).
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of a 4-week lower extremity telerehabilitation protocol with aims to improve lower extremity function to a 4-week attention-controlled education program on lower extremity clinical outcomes, quality of life, and healthcare resources utilization among community dwelling adults with stroke across Canada.
This is a multicenter, prospective, investigator-initiated, randomized controlled trial aiming to reduce the percentage of non-cardiac chest pain (NCCP) patients admitted to the cardiac emergency department (ED) by performing the modified HEART score by emergency medical transport (EMT) personnel.
A prospective non-interventional study aimed to evaluate the immediate and long-term outcomes in patients with left ventricular aneurysm after transmural myocardial infarction. A registry of patients with transmural myocardial infarction admitted to the Emergency Department of Cardiology will be created. The registry will include all consecutive hospitalized patients from from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 who meet the inclusion criteria Based on this registry, patients will be divided into groups : patients with left ventricular aneurysm and patients without aneurysm, patients with left ventricular thrombosis and patients without thrombosis. Patients will be contacted in 3 and 12 months. Surviving patients will be invited to appointment for an ECG, echocardiography and survey. The cardiovascular events during this period will be recorded. The factors determining the prognosis of patients and their concomitant diseases, immediate and long-term prognoses, therapeutic measures and drug therapy at the hospital and outpatient stages, and patients ' adherence to therapy will be analyzed.
We aimed to identify whether SGLT-2 inhibitor administration before and after coronary intervention is effective in reducing the size of infarction and myocardial remodeling in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and high risk of heart failure, and its mechanism. For this reason, we compared cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) parameters and clinical outcomes between the SGLT-2 inhibitor group and the control group to confirm the efficacy and safety of SGLT-2 inhibitors.
The global burden and threat of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) have become a major health challenge that undermines social and economic development throughout the world. Cardiovascular disease including acute coronary syndromes (ACS) currently accounts for 17.9 million deaths a year. Low and middle-income countries such as those in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) have undergone a rapid epidemiological transition over the last few decades and now have a burden of disease increasingly dominated by NCDs. The global burden of disease report for 2017 revealed a 71.4% increase in cardiovascular disease in SSA, predicting a large increase in mortality. Unfortunately, reliable population-level data regarding the incidence, prevalence and demographics of ACS in SSA are limited. The investigators propose to set up and conduct a multi-centre, prospective, observational registry to describe the demographics, clinical characteristics, presentation, management and outcomes of patients admitted with ACS in Cape Town and the Garden Route Health District, Western Cape Province, South Africa. The registry is designed to shed insight on the current burden and impact of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in the Western Cape.
The rapid and complete restoration of coronary flow is a key issue in the management of STEMI. Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the preferred reperfusion strategy associated with antithrombotic drugs. In daily practice, it is not rare that some patients may achieve reopening of the culprit artery without undergoing any mechanical reperfusion therapy, which is called " spontaneous reperfusion ". The latter is associated with improved outcomes in several studies but none of these studies were done in the modern antithrombotic strategy area including new P2Y12 inhibitors. The aim of this study is to report the incidence, characteristics and outcomes of consecutive patients with STEMI admitted for coronary angiography with angiographic clinical evidence of spontaneous reperfusion in the modern medical antithrombotic strategy associated with primary PCI.
