Filter by:Background: In patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), the amount of infarcted myocardium (infarct size) is known to be a major predictor for adverse remodeling and recurrent adverse cardiovascular events. Effective cardio-protective strategies with the aim of reducing infarct size are therefore of great interest. Local and systemic inflammation influences the fate of ischemic myocardium and thus, adverse remodeling and clinical outcome. C-reactive protein (CRP) also acts as a potential mechanistic mediator that adversely affects the amount of irreversible myocardial tissue damage after acute myocardial infarction. Objective: The main objectives of the current study are to investigate the efficacy of selective CRP apheresis, using the PentraSorb®-CRP system, as an adjunctive therapy to standard of care for patients with acute STEMI treated with primary PCI. Design: Investigator-initiated, prospective, randomized, open-label (outcome assessors masked), controlled, multicenter, two group trial with a two-stage adaptive design. Innovation: Selective CRP apheresis offers potential to decrease infarct size and consequently improve outcome after PCI for STEMI. This is the first randomized trial investigating the impact of selective CRP apheresis on infarct size in post-STEMI patients. In perspective, the study design allows furthermore to collect robust evidence for the design of a definitive outcome study.
The purpose of this research is to find out if doing cardiac rehab at home, or a mix of cardiac rehab at home and in the clinic, is as effective as coming in to the clinic for cardiac rehab.
Ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide and the leading cause of sudden cardiac death. However, its post-mortem diagnosis is particularly difficult because the gross examination of the heart is usually normal at the autopsy . The diagnosis is therefore often based on a set of indirect arguments, such as the patient's medical and clinical history and the degree of occlusion of the coronary arteries. The formal diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) currently relies on standard histological examination. However, histological findings often require a prolonged survival time of several hours to be highlighted. Triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) is a salt that reacts with lactate dehydrogenases contained in still viable myocardial cells, forming a red pigment visible to the naked eye, (1,3,5 triphenylformazan). Ischemia-induced cell death, which occurs within minutes of the causative event, is responsible for the leakage of lactate deshydrogenase into the extracellular medium and thus results in the absence of formazan formation in the infarcted area, which displays an easily identifiable pale unstained color. It has been suggested that the use of TTC would allow the identification of MI as early as one hour of survival in animal models, before the usual macroscopic and microscopic signs are visible. It could therefore represent an attractive forensic tool for the early diagnosis of AMI at the autopsy.
An investigator-initiated, randomized, multicenter, two-arm, open-label study of consecutive patients presenting with STEMI and MVD Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate the difference in all-cause mortality after in-hospital staged PCI versus out-hospital staged PCI for ST-segment elevated myocardial infarction （STEMI）patients with multi-vessel Disease（MVD） Background: In primary percutaneous coronary intervention for STEMI with MVD, complete revascularization has proved to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death and myocardial infarction. However, a strategy of nonculprit-vessel PCI with the goal of complete revascularization still not to be confirmed. Compare with in-hospital staged PCI, out-hospital PCI as a strategy of nonculprit-vessel PCI for STEMI patients with MVD might have be beneficial results.
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%).
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.
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.
STEMI patients with multivessel disease will be randomized to complete PCI versus PCI driven by high risk criteria of plaques evaluated with OCT
This study will investigate the effect of a 12-weeks cardiac rehabilitation training (HIIT, MICT) program on VO2peak and cardiac fibrosis in patients, and evaluate the effects of HIIT on endothelial function, microvascular obstruction, body fat, inflammation, arrhythmia and psychology .
The transradial access (TRA) is currently the preferred approach for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, in patients with ACUTE ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) after emergency PCI, the high incidence of THE radial artery RAO limits the future choice of the radial artery for percutaneous intervention. The literature reported that distal transradial access (dTRA) significantly reduced RAO after elective PCI, but the application of dTRA in emergency PCI in STEMI has not been reported. We have completed 126 cases of dTRA undergoing emergency PCI after STEMI, which has been preliminarily confirmed to be safe and effective. A single-center, open, prospective, randomized controlled study is planned to compare the use of dTRA and TRA in emergency PCI in STEMI patients. The primary endpoint was the INCIDENCE of RAO within 24 hours after surgery. This clinical study verified that dTRA compared with TRA could reduce the RAO incidence of STEMI patients after emergency PCI. The project will explore a new artery approach to reduce RAO, and provide a basis for the selection of artery approach in STEMI emergency PCI patients.
