Filter by:The aim of this research is to study the prognostic role of a selected combination of cytokines and adipokines in patients with myocardial infarction, as well as to determine their role in the development of adverse cardiac remodeling.
This is a national, multicenter prospective observational study of patients presenting to hospitals in Armenia with STEMI diagnosis. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Determine the rate of in-hospital mortality for the patients with STEMI admitted to the participating hospitals. - Compare short and long-term CV and all-cause mortality and hospitalization. - Determine how professional guidelines are followed in real-world situations.
This study is to explore whether a computed tomography (CT) scan of the heart arteries might improve the care of patients that have presented with a suspected Type 2 myocardial infarction (MI). The Investigators hope to demonstrate that these patients may be the ideal group of patients to benefit from cardiac CT scan imaging by; 1. confirming whether they have any disease in their heart arteries 2. demonstrating the severity of the heart artery disease 3. revealing an alternative cause for their presentation 4. avoiding the need for an invasive heart artery angiogram.
Despite the year-on-year decrease, coronary artery disease (CAD) still remains one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide. With advances in technology and our understanding of cardiac disease, we can now treat CAD using minimally invasive interventional techniques. This has revolutionised treatment for and improved the lives of many patients with CAD. Although trials have assessed various therapeutic strategies in various populations, real-world evidence of intervention and medical treatment among patients with CAD is increasingly recognised as an important part of providing safety and efficacy data and improving the care we provide. Regional heart attack services have improved clinical outcomes following ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) by facilitating early reperfusion by primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Early discharge after primary PCI is welcomed by patients and increases the efficiency of health care. This data will add to that literature by assessing the characteristics and outcomes of patients with CAD, concentrating on those who are discharged via the early discharge pathway. It will also identify and characterise predictors of outcomes, and improve risk stratification and diagnostic evaluation.

The CT-STEMI study aims to evaluate a comprehensive cardiac computed tomography (CCT) protocol for assessing the risk of heart failure (HF), life-threatening arrhythmias (LTA), and atherothrombotic events following ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). This multicenter, prospective study has three main objectives: 1. Comparing the diagnostic accuracy of the comprehensive CCT protocol with cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), considered the non-invasive gold standard. 2. Determining the prognostic value of CCT in assessing myocardial tissue adverse features related to STEMI. 3. Evaluating the atherosclerotic burden in patients with post-acute STEMI. Two hundred patients will undergo both CCT and CMR in the post-acute phase, and their follow-up will focus on monitoring HF, LTA, and ischemic events. The CT-STEMI study represents the first attempt to assess the potential of CCT in providing a comprehensive risk assessment following STEMI in a large contemporary population. The findings of this study have the potential to revolutionize post-STEMI risk stratification practices.
Management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has evolved from a glucocentric to a cardiometabolic approach. Both glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) reduce cardiovascular and kidney outcomes in T2DM patients with a low hypoglycemia risk. The T2DM di per se still carries a higher risk of mortality and major cardiovascular complications, doubling the case fatality rate. Tacking that GLP-1RAs and SGLT2is have different mechanisms of action, resulting in complementary pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, the combination use may present clinical efficacy and safety in T2DM patients with AMI. However, there is limited clinical evidence that supports the combined use of these drugs, and there are currently no studies investigating the effects of combination treatment in T2DM patients with acute cardiovascular events, on MACE as well as on myocardial post-infarction rescue. Therefore, authors will conduct an observational prospective study to evaluate the effects GLP-1RAs and SGLT2is combination therapy on MACE such as mortality, acute coronary syndrome and heart failure, and myocardial salvage index (MSI) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in T2DM patients.
This clinical trial aims to compare conventional radial access versus distal radial access in patients with STEMI undergoing PCI. The main question it aims to answer is: • Mayor adverse cardiac events (MACE) at 30 days in STEMI patients treated by PCI are not inferior when comparing the distal radial approach versus the conventional radial approach ? Participants will: - sign the informed consent to enroll in the clinical trial. - will agree to be treated by PCI - will be randomized 1:1 to perform PCI by conventional radial or distal radial approach. If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare conventional radial access vs distal radial access to see if the distal approach is not inferior compared to the conventional radial access in order to offer less or equal MACE and a similar rate of a successful procedure.
To manage the ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) caused by plaque rupture, triggers platelet activation/aggregation and thrombin generation, requires dual (platelet and coagulation) pathway inhibition. However, triple antithrombotic therapy with standard dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) and oral anticoagulant (OAC) in the STEMI setting is a challenge, since that increase in potential risk of bleeding. Although the incidence of left ventricular thrombus (LVT) formation after STEMI decreased in modern reperfusion therapy, including primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), remains at 4% to 26%, especially that complicated by anterior STEMI. The recommendation of an OAC prophylactic therapy for preventing LVT formation in current STEMI guidelines is limited. How to optimize antithrombotic therapy to balance the bleeding-thrombotic profile, and prevent LVT formation is challenging, since insufficient evidence is available from randomized trials. Century Clot analyzer is point-of-care testing that could assess the coagulate state: normal, hypo-coagulable, or hyper-coagulable states according to clot rate (CR) value. Whether Century Clot-guided rivaroxaban prophylactic therapy (2.5 mg twice daily, if the hypercoagulable state, defined as CR ≥24) in combination with standard DAPT could reduce LVT formation without increasing major bleeding is uncertain.
