Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the most common cause of cardiogenic shock (CS), and CS is the most common cause of death in patients with AMI. Percutaneous mechanical circulation is one of the most important techniques in the treatment of AMICS. Intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) is the most commonly used mechanical circulatory assist device in clinic. However, the existing clinical evidence shows that IABP can not improve the clinical outcome of patients with AMICS. As for impella and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) system, there was still no difference in overall mortality compared with IABP in AMICS. Until now, IABP-shock II study is the largest randomized controlled study so far. However, this study has limitations. In a recent retrospective study, the project team investigated the use of IABP and the outcomes of more than 300 AMI cases in three provincial capitals of Northeast China in 2016. It was found that the 28 day survival rate of patients in the early use of IABP group was significantly higher than that in the late use group. The investigators speculate that IABP may significantly improve the clinical outcomes of patients with AMICS if it can be used in the earlier stage of CS (stage B). This multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled study will involve 512 participants in about 15 centers. Patients diagnosed with AMI (including STEMI and NSTEMI) complicated with shock stage B (SCAI definition criteria) received early revascularization (PCI or CABG) and standardized drug treatment according to the current guidelines before meeting the study inclusion criteria. After reviewing the inclusion criteria, participants were randomized to two groups (IABP group and control group) in a ratio of 1:1. The investigators speculated that IABP could significantly improve the clinical outcomes of patients with AMICS if it could be used in the earlier stage of CS (stage B). At present, there is no clinical study on the use of IABP in AMICS (stage B). It is worth carrying out the corresponding clinical research, in order to study the real role of IABP in patients with AMICS and explore the treatment strategy of AMICS in line with China's national conditions.
The coronary artery system is composed of three different types of blood vessels, namely epicardial arteries, arterioles and capillaries. Compared with epicardial arteries, arterioles and capillaries are lower than the resolution of current angiography systems, so angiography cannot be used for visualization. Existing studies have shown that coronary microcirculation plays an extremely important role in maintaining full myocardial perfusion. Coronary microvascular disorders can lead to myocardial hypoperfusion and ischemia, and are related to the poor prognosis of patients with coronary heart disease. At present, there is no technology that can directly detect the state of the coronary microcirculation in the human body, but the coronary microcirculation function can be indirectly assessed through two invasive and non-invasive methods. Among them, the index of microcirculation resistance (IMR) is widely used to evaluate coronary microcirculation function [3]. However, in the case of epicardial stenosis, accurate determination of IMR requires knowledge of coronary artery contraction pressure (Pw). However, measuring IMR is an invasive examination technique, and measuring IMR requires high technical requirements for the operator. Therefore, the CaIMR value obtained by AI technology can well overcome this limitation, and the existing data show that the CaIMR value has a good correlation with the IMR value. However, CaIMR has a clinical prognosis for patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. The predictive value of CaIMR has not yet been explored. This project aims to evaluate the application value of CaIMR in predicting the occurrence of adverse cardiovascular events in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction after percutaneous coronary intervention.
This study is a randomized, controlled clinical trial. Evaluation of microcirculation resistance by index of microcirculation resistance to explore the protective effect of Shexiang Tongxin dripping pills on microcirculation in patients with acute anterior myocardial infarction.
The primary objective of the PERI-STEMI trial is to assess whether sacubitril-valsartan is more effective in preventing adverse LV remodeling for patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) than enalapril.

The investigators evaluate the effects of intracoronary and intravenous administration of nicorandil on cardiac sympathetic nerve activity and distribution in patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention
Cerebrovascular disease (stroke) is a leading cause of mortality and disability. Common risk assessment tools for stroke are based on the Framingham equation, which relies on traditional cardiovascular risk factors (e.g., hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, smoking, atrial fibrillation). These risk assessment tools calculate the likelihood for a general vascular "event" such as stroke and myocardial infarction in the near decade, but do not assess the risk for an impending event although that would enable taking immediate preventive action (e.g. anticoagulants for atrial fibrillation; control of hypertension). Covert cerebrovascular disease is linked to subtle cognitive and motor deficits and increased risk for stroke. We hypothesize that it is possible to identify subjects with impending stroke based on their internet communication features 0-12 months prior to the actual occurrence of acute clinical stroke. Based on this we have previously developed an internet-based algorithm that accurately identifies people at risk of stroke through cognitive changes manifested in their search queries. The purpose of this study is to validate the model and train a new model by analyzing Google queries of patients hospitalized in the Tel-Aviv Sourasky Medical Center with stroke. Acute myocardial infarction and unaffected spouses will serve as controls.
