The research study is being done to see if ziltivekimab can be used to treat people who were admitted to hospital because of a heart attack. Ziltivekimab might reduce development of heart disease, thereby preventing new heart attacks or strokes. Participants will either get ziltivekimab (active medicine) or placebo (a dummy medicine which has no effect on the body). Which treatment participants get is decided by chance. The chance of getting ziltivekimab or placebo is the same. Ziltivekimab is not yet approved in any country or region in the world. It is a new medicine that doctors cannot prescribe. The study will last for about 2 years.
We now have very sensitive blood tests that can pick up damage to the heart and find patients who have had a heart attack. However, whilst this is welcome, it does not identify what causes the heart attack and can sometimes pick up other conditions that cause a strain on the heart. The classic cause of a heart attack is when a blood clot forms on fatty deposits within the heart arteries. This leads to treating patients with blood thinning medication, and this is very effective and saves lives. However, many apparent heart attacks are not caused by blood clots and some may be caused by blood clots but pass unrecognised. In this proposal, we will test an exciting new imaging test that can 'see' from outside the body whether there is a blood clot in the heart arteries. This could provide a major new way of assessing patients to ensure they get the right diagnosis and the right treatment. This could ultimately improve the outcomes of or patients with heart attacks. We will recruit 80 patients in total who have recently been diagnosed with a heart attack from the cardiology department at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh. The research team will review patient's medical records to determine eligibility for the study. The research study involves participants undertaking the following research procedures and assessments: 1. A combined Positron Emission Tomography and Computed Tomography (PET-CT) scan of the heart 2. Ultrasound scan of the heart (Echocardiogram) 3. MRI scan of the heart 4. A blood test - a total of up to four tablespoons (60 mL) of blood will be taken for immediate testing and the remaining blood will be stored for future ethically approved studies 5. A follow up questionnaire 6 -12 months following the heart attack
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effects of time-restricted eating in patients with history of acute coronary syndrome. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1) Is 10-hr TRE safe and feasible for patients with ACS; 2)What are the impacts of 10-hr TRE on anthropometric measurements, cardiometabolic health and cardiovascular health compared to ad libitum eating in patients with ACS?. Participants will be asked to limit eating duration to 10 hours daily.
The main goal of the ULTRA-STEMI trial is to investigate the prognostic impact of IVUS-guided PCI in patients with STEMI and correlate IVUS measurements with clinical, procedural, imaging and follow-up outcomes of interest. Study participants will undergo primary PCI as per standardized procedures; IVUS will be performed at baseline, post-intervention and post-optimization. Manual thrombus aspiration will be performed according to clinical indications. The aspirated thrombi will be collected and scanned with micro-computed tomography (micro-CT). Also, angiographic and peri-procedural data will be gathered. Post-PCI instantaneous wave-free ratio (IFR) will also be performed to assess the severity of the residual coronary-artery stenosis, if any. All patients will be followed up for at least12 months for the adjudication of major adverse cardiovascular events.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effectiveness of Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cell (UC MSC) therapy in patients with STEMI against infarct myocardial size reduction and prevent the incidence of heart failure in the future
Magnetocardiography (MCG) is a promising noninvasive and accurate method for detecting myocardial infarction. Although progress has been made in this area, there is a lack of studies using up-to-date examination instruments for the calibration of MCG analysis. This is a prospective single-center study aiming to build accurate analytical models of MCG to detect myocardial infarction. Myocardial infarction are diagnosed by electrocardiogram, biomarkers (high-sensitivity cardiac troponin, etc), or non-invasive imaging (cardiac magnetic resonance or single-photon-emission tomography). Myocardial infarction is also quantified by cardiac magnetic resonance or single-photon-emission tomography. Healthy volunteers and chest pain patients who will receive electrocardiogram, biomarkers (high-sensitivity cardiac troponin, etc), or non-invasive imaging (cardiac magnetic resonance or single-photon-emission tomography) examination will be enrolled in this study.
Myocardial infarction (MI) is a major contributor to morbidity and mortality in China. The goal of this interventional, randomised controlled clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a single administration of Nivolumab to the patients presenting with an acute anterior ST-segmental elevated myocardial infarction. Researchers will investigate if Nivolumab treatment can effectively and safely reduce infarct size as well as improve cardiac function of the patients with acute myocardial infarction.
The goal of this phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial is to explore the safety and efficacy of dutogliptin administered subcutaneously (SC) in co-administration with filgrastim in adult patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of dutogliptin compared with placebo in STEMI patients within 180 days of randomization measured by the time of first occurrence of a composite endpoint of cardiovascular (CV) death and worsening heart failure (HF) within 180 days. Participants will receive dutogliptin twice daily subcutaneously (SC) for 14 days and filgrastim (SC) daily for 5 days or placebo.
Subjects with urgently reperfused type I myocardial infarction (MI) will be recruited and randomized to receive either placebo or the oral inflammasome (NLRP3) inhibitor dapansutrile. The primarily outcome measure will be carotid plaque volume change over 6 months; secondary outcome measures will be plaque inflammatory activity and coronary microvascular function.
