Filter by:The overall hypothesis of the study is that Dapagliflozin will reduce left ventricular remodeling in patients who have had a myocardial infarction.
The primary aim of this research is to explore the adherence and drop-out from early cardiac rehabilitation (CR), to inform interventions to support patient's adherence to CR and facilitate maintenance. The secondary aim is to understand which aspects of CR are essential for improving health-related quality of life in the short and long-term. This research will comprise four stages adopting a mixed-methods, quasi-experimental, repeated measures design.
The purpose of is study is to investigate whether ischemic postconditioning (iPOST) and intravascular ultrasound-guided (IVUS) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) improve the clinical outcome of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction treated with primary PCI.
The aim of the study is to determine whether discontinuation of β-blocker after at least 1 year of β-blocker therapy is noninferior to continuation of β-blocker in patients without heart failure (HF) or left ventricular systolic dysfunction after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Prospective, open-label, randomized, multicenter, noninferiority trial to determine whether discontinuation of β-blocker after at least 1 year of β-blocker therapy is noninferior to continuation of β-blocker in patients without HF or left ventricular systolic dysfunction after AMI.
Demonstrating the pathophysiological link between Left Atrial (LA) and Left Atrial Appendage (LAA) pathology and embolic strokes in non-Atrial Fibrillation (AF) individuals represents a major advance in stroke prevention strategies. Instead of relying on non-specific criteria for stroke risk assessment, the investigators propose to identify individuals with high-risk of embolic stroke using imaging criteria that reflect the underlying pathophysiology of embolic stroke of cardiac origin. the investigators can therefore lay the groundwork for future anticoagulation strategies for stroke prevention beyond AF.
Despite a decrease in voltage amplitude in post-infarction scar areas, greater voltage amplitudes are sometimes observed at the time of local extrasystoles mechanically induced by catheters. However, no study has investigated whether these electrical changes are associated with mechanical changes in local contractility. However, the voltage is closely correlated to the local contractile function as evidenced by the use of the NOGA system.
Ticagrelor as nonthienopyridine, direct-acting P2Y12 receptor antagonist, had significantly greater platelet inhibition, which could reduce ischemic events at acute phase, however, resulting in more incidence of bleedings than pro-drug P2Y12 receptor inhibitor during chronic phase for management of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Also, East Asians have higher response to potent agent, like ticagrelor, when compared with Caucasians. With this in mind, East Asian patients will be required optimal, potentially reduced dose of ticagrelor to improve the safety profile, maintaining better vascular outcomes. Similarly, there are insufficient East Asian data on the efficacy and safety of low-dose ticagrelor in real-word practice. Whether the de-escalation strategy (ticagrelor 60/45 mg twice daily) are more adequate for clinical practice in East Asian is unclear. Therefore, the investigators design the EASTYLE study, hypothesis that low-dose ticagrelor would be more likely adequate for optimal antiplatelet treatment without increasing ischemic and bleeding events in East Asian with AMI compared with standard-dose ticagrelor. In the EASTYLE trial, further clinical data of de-escalation strategy guided AMI management in East Asian will be provided.
A multi-center randomized post-approval evaluation of delivery of intracoronary hyperoxemic supersaturated Oxygen therapy for 60 minutes in anterior AMI patients with successful reperfusion (via PCI) within 6 hours after onset of symptoms compared to standard therapy
Preclinical studies have demonstrated that high mechanical index (MI) impulses from a diagnostic ultrasound (DUS) transducer during an intravenous microbubble infusion (sonothrombolysis) can restore epicardial and microvascular flow in acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The investigators propose to demonstrate the clinical effectiveness of sonothrombolysis in multiple centers and in a wide scenario of acute coronary syndromes.
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a lethal disease, reduced low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol due to inhibition of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin 9 (PCSK9) reduces cardiovascular events and improve cardiovascular prognosis. we assuming that PCSK9 inhibitor could bring metabolic change in serum, in order to investigate the metabolic modification, we conduct this clinical trial.
