The objective of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of Pressure-controlled intermittent Coronary Sinus Occlusion (PiCSO) as adjunct to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) compared to PCI in the setting of acute anterior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
Patients with STEMI are usually treated with primary PCI in contemporary practice. However, primary PCI is currently deemed unbeneficial or potentially harmful in patients presenting late after a STEMI. There is limited data to suggest that patients who may have viable myocardium despite presenting late with a STEMI may derive benefit from PCI, which may be denied in current practice. CMR imaging is the reference modality for assessment of left ventricular function and myocardial viability. This feasibility study will randomise late presenting STEMI patients with CMR documented viability to PCI plus optimal medical therapy (OMT) versus OMT alone. The investigator hypothesises that PCI in this cohort will improve left ventricular remodelling and function. Favourable results will lead to an adequately powered multi-centre trial with the potential to improve the management of late resenting STEMI patients and impact on clinical practice guidelines.
Study OPL-0301-201 is intended to generate efficacy and safety data of OPL-0301 in participants with post-myocardial infarction (MI) left ventricular dysfunction (LVD)
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of adenosine on the recovery of myocardial akinesia in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The study is a single-center randomized clinical trial intending to include 90 patients. The objective of the study is to investigate whether treatment with adenosine hastens recovery of myocardial akinesia and improves cardiac function at 48 hours in patients with STEMI.
Raised plasma Homocysteine (Hcy) was 1st proposed as a cause of vascular pathology in patients with inherited disorders of Homocysteine metabolism.leading to the hypothesis that individuals with slight to moderate elevated levels of Homocysteine may have an increased hazard for vascular disease. As an amino acid with a reactive sulfhydryl group, homocysteine has been proposed to intermediate vascular inflammation and damage by stimulating oxidative stress secondary to reactive oxygen species accumulation. which in turn leads to an rise in cardiac and vascular disease risk by stimulating endothelial dysfunction, smooth muscle cell proliferation, and vascular calcification. Consistent with this hypothesis, hyperhomocysteinemia a has been associated with an increased risk for coronary heart disease (CHD), heart failure, atrial fibrillation, stroke, and mortality.
The aim of study is to examine the relationship between lipid subfractions, inflammation and structural-functional properties of the arterial wall in patients after myocardial infarction with high lipoprotein (a) (Lp (a)) levels, to study genetic polymorphisms that determine lipid subfractions concentration on the functional and morphological properties of the arterial vascular wall in patients after myocardial infarction with high Lp (a) levels, to study the effect of pelacarsen on lipid subfractions, inflammation and structural-functional properties of arterial wall in patients after myocardial infarction with high Lp (a) levels and to study the influence of NOS-3 gene expression on the functional and morphological properties of the arterial vascular wall in the same patients. Impaired blood fat metabolism and chronic inflammation represent possible causes of atherosclerosis. Lp (a) is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease and a prognostic predictor in patients after myocardial infarction. Despite recommended screening for elevated Lp (a), there is no specific drug treatment approved to reduce cardiovascular risk through lowering Lp (a). Besides subtilisin-kexin convertase type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors, antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) are currently only therapeutic agents that significantly reduce serum Lp (a) concentration. Pelacarsen by using an ASO directed against the messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) of apolipoprotein (a), reduces the production of apolipoprotein (a) in the liver and thus, the level of Lp (a). However, there are no data on the relationship between Lp (a) values and polymorphisms for Lp (a), indicators of inflammation and impaired arterial function, and response to treatment with pelacarsen in patients after myocardial infarction with extremely high Lp (a) levels.
The purpose of this study is to collect long-term safety and tolerability data of LCZ696 and to provide open-label LCZ696 to eligible participants who completed CLCZ696G2301 study (PARADISE-MI) if LCZ696 is shown to have a positive benefit-risk profile in comparison to ramipril in reducing risk of cardiovascular (CV) mortality and development of heart failure in participants enrolled in the PARADISE-MI study.
A prospective, multicenter, single-arm, open label registry of commercially treated patients with PiCSO Impulse System.
The objective of the study is to demonstrate that in post-MI patients with symptomatic heart failure who receive optimal medical therapy for this condition, and with reduced LVEF ≤ 35% but low risk for SCD according to a personalised risk score, optimal medical therapy without ICD implantation (index group) is not inferior to optimal medical therapy with ICD implantation (control group) with respect to all-cause mortality.
