Filter by:The general aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of treating acute myocardial infarction (AMI) by physician-directed pre-hospital thrombosis, using accelerated alteplase (Actilyse®) and a diagnostic technique involving remote electrocardiogram (ECG) acquisition by paramedics
The overall aim of this trial is to study the safety and efficacy of ICD implantation as a primary prevention strategy of sudden cardiac death in patients 70 years and older. This study will assess the many competing factors involved with ICD implantation including 1) the impact on mortality, especially in the context of a declining rate of sudden death with advanced age, 2) the tolerability of the powerful therapeutic action of the device, and 3) the impact on quality of life.
The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to test the effect of 12 weeks Adaptive Servo-Ventilation (ASV) therapy (additionally to optimal medical management of myocardial infarction) on myocardial salvage (MSI=myocardial salvage/area at risk, primary endpoint).
To compare efficacy and safety of prasugrel and ticagrelor in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention.
The investigators hypothesized that ticagrelor may enhance endothelial healing after DES implantation by increasing adenosine concentrations by the inhibition of adenosine uptake into erythrocytes, compared to clopidogrel. Thus, the investigators will evaluate the extent of endothelialization (stent strut coverage) and neointimal hyperplasia (neointimal thickness) 3 months after DES implantation by optical coherence tomography (OCT)
The study aims to investigate the presence of a substance in the blood called prokinecitine, which is released by the heart when a heart attack occurs. Several venous blood samples at the arm are withdrawn at admission, H6, H12, H24, H48 and H72 in order to measure the concentration of this substance in the blood. The usefulness of this new blood marker is going to be determsined to seek if it would be of help to better diagnose or estimate the gravity of heart infarction after a heart attack.
The MAGNetic QRS-Fragmentation in Patients with Myocardial InfarcTion and Moderately RedUceD Ejection Fraction (MAGNITUDE) study will assess in MI survivors with moderately reduced left ventricular function, whether non-invasive MFI QRS Fragmentation alone or in combination with parameters derived from a Holter recording can be used to identify a group of patients at high risk for SCD/life threatening ventricular arrhythmia.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) therapy in addition to state-of-the-art treatment (pharmacological and non pharmacological) is safe and significantly improves clinical outcome in patients with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (≤45%) after successful reperfusion for large anterior acute myocardial infarction.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the MGuard™ Prime stent in the treatment of blocked arteries in coronary arteries in patients undergoing a stenting procedure due to having a heart attack. The MGuard Prime stent wil be compared to other FDA approved bare-metal (BMS) or drug-eluting (DES) coronary stents. The hypotheses are that (1) the MGuard Prime stent will achieve a higher rate of complete ST-segment resolution as seen on the post-procedure ECG as compared to the comparator stent, and will have a similar effect on the rate of all-cause death or recurrent target vessel myocardial infarction at 365 days post-procedure.
THis study is intended to provide contemporary data on the burden of disease in patients 1 to 3 years post-MI, including a description of patient characteristics, current treatment patterns, rate of major CV events, and healthcare resource utilization in a 'real world' patient population at high atherothrombotic risk.
