This is a Phase 2, multicenter, randomized, parallel, 3-arm, placebo-controlled study to assess efficacy and safety of CDR132L in patients with reduced Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) (≤ 45%) after myocardial infarction (MI). This study consists of a screening period (to occur at least 3 days after MI diagnosis), a 6-month double-blind period, and a 6-month extension period with the End of Study (EOS) Visit at Day 360/Month 12. Two dosages of CDR132L will be tested against placebo on their effects on patients, who just had a heart attack in addition to standard care. The aim of the study is to show that CDR132L is safe and effective to improve heart failure in such patients.
APERITIF is a prospective randomized open-label, blinded end-point (PROBE) trial, nested in the ongoing the "FRENCHIE" registry, a French multicenter prospective observational study granted by "ANR-RHU Grand Emprunt", in which all consecutive patients admitted within 48 hours after symptom onset in a cardiac Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are included (NCT04050956). Among them, eligible Patients for "APERITIF" will be randomized into two groups: Dual Anti-Platelet Therapy (DAPT) alone or DAPT plus rivaroxaban 2.5mg twice daily for 4 weeks, prescribed as soon as possible after admission and completion of the initial percutaneous coronary intervention/angiography procedure.
The study aims to evaluate a modified antiplatelet therapy associated with Firehawk low-dose rapamycin DES in acute myocardial infarction patients treated with complete revascularization strategy. The modified antiplatelet therapy consists of a reduced duration of Dual Antiplatelet Therapy post procedure (ie. 1 month duration) followed by P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy for the next 11 months. It is hypothesized that in the setting of clinically stable, low to moderate complexity acute Myocardial Infarction patients, a modern approach combining a stent with high biocompatibility feature, complete revascularization strategy and modified antiplatelet therapy may be associated with similar outcomes, or even a significant benefit compared with guidelines-recommended 12-month DAPT. This benefit could be driven by a reduced risk in significant bleeding events, while keeping a comparable protection against ischemic risk. Enrolled subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either cessation of aspirin at 1 months, either continuation of DAPT. Selection of the P2Y12 inhibitor agent is left to investigator judgment but has to be in line with the current ESC guidelines. Subjects treated with the Firehawk or Firehawk Liberty coronary stent will be included in this study.
Heart attack remains a major cause of death in adult population worldwide and especially within Scotland. A large portion of the general population has an increased risk of suffering from a heart attack because of their genetic make-up, disease profile and lifestyle choices. Literature suggests that apart from these known risk factors, long-standing inflammation (reaction of tissues to infection or injury) elsewhere in the body may be responsible for heart attacks. It has been suggested that gum disease may be one such condition. If left untreated, gum disease may expose the entire body to a long-term inflammatory burden where inflammatory molecules can disseminate from the gums into the bloodstream and affect various body structures. This study explores the influence of gum disease on the risk of heart attack by comparing the gum health of participants who recently had a heart attack to the gum health of participants with no history of heart problems after accounting for other risk factors. Findings will provide critical information for the design of our forthcoming study to establish the effect of treatment of gum disease on the risk of heart attack, and its cost-effectiveness. Ultimately this research will tackle another risk factor for heart attacks and thus inform enhancement of public health prevention strategies.
Patients with STEMI (ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction) with multivessel disease which have PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention)-suitable non-IRA (infarct related artery) will be randomized to immediate complete revascularization group or staged revascularization group by 1:1 fashion. Non-IRA lesion which have equal or more than 70% diameter stenosis by visual estimation will be revascularized without FFR (fractional flow reserve) evaluation. Non-IRA lesion with diameter stenosis 50-70% by visual estimation will be evaluated using FFR device. In case of FFR value more than 0.8, non-IRA lesion wll be deferred without PCI. If FFR value was equal or less than 0.8, non-IRA lesion will be revascularized.
To assess impact of adjunctive cilostazol on endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) mobilization in patients with acute myocardial infarction (To reveal the role of cilostazol in up-regulation of EPC count)
The study aim is to evaluate the capability of mechanocardiography in detecting acute myocardial ischemia in patients suffering evolving ST-segment elevation infarction.
Infarct size is a major determinant of prognosis after AMI. Evidence indicates that the combination of intracoronary ischemic conditioning (ICIC) and remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) can significantly reduce infarct size in STEMI patients. Whether the combination of these two interventions may improve clinical outcome after STEMI remains unknown. The objective of the present study is to determine whether combination of ICIC and RIC can improve STEMI patients clinical outcome at 6 months.
