Filter by:This is an exploratory, randomized, double-blind, multicentre, placebo-controlled study of RTP-026. The study population will consist of men and women with documented evidence of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) referred to primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI).
The new global guidelines from the World Health Organization on air quality provide evidence of the damage that air pollution inflicts on human health at even lower concentrations than previously thought. Different studies have shown an increase in the incidence of coronary artery disease (CAD) in young people in recent decades. The main objective of this project is to study the impact of environmental pollutants on the premature manifestation of CAD from different epidemiological approaches and their impact on the evolution of these patients with a gender perspective. It is a retrospective analytical case-control study nested in a cohort of patients ≤40 years old with a clinical history of CAD including: ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome, unstable angina, stable angina or silent angina according to the international classification of diseases.
This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Recombinant Human Brain Natriuretic Peptide (rhBNP) in improving ventricular remodeling and cardiac function after acute anterior myocardial infarction undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. 100 patients with acute anterior myocardial infarction after primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (pPCI) are randomly assigned 1:1 to rhBNP group(n=50) and control group(n=50) with follow-up of 24 weeks. Both groups are treated with standard therapy of AAMI, with the rhBNP group intravenous dripping rhBNP after pPCI for 3 days and the control group treated with placebo at the same time. The primary endpoint is the change in N terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide（NT-proBNP ）and cardiac troponin T(cTnT) level.The secondary endpoint is the change in 24-week echocardiographic including left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF) , left ventricular end-diastolic volume index (LVEDVI) and left ventricular end-systolic volume index (LVESVI), arrhythmia and cardiovascular events (death, cardiac arrest or cardiopulmonary resuscitation, hospitalization due to heart failure or angina pectoris).
During a heart attack, the protein troponin I is released from the heart muscle into the bloodstream. Measurements of cardiac troponin in blood are used as an aid in the diagnosis of heart attack. Low levels of troponin are also present in the blood stream of healthy individuals and can be detected by high-sensitive troponin tests. The SpinChip hs-cTnI test is a new high-sensitive test for measuring the amount of cardiac troponin I in the bloodstream as an aid in the diagnosis of heart attack. The purpose of this study is to determine the upper reference limits (URLs) for the SpinChip hs-cTnI test in a healthy population.
Acute Myocardial Infarction (heart attacks) affect about 86000 people each year in the UK. Given this large number of people, it is important that health teams look at ways to ensure the best care to improve outcomes after a heart attack. In related heart conditions, the role of iron is important, but there isn't much information about what effect iron levels have on patients following a heart attack. We want to plan a large scale study to look at this, but need some early data to understand how many patients have low iron levels. This small study will take part at one NHS Trust and will test for iron levels in all patients who provide consent (we expect up to 70 patients will take part). We will also collect data from medical notes for these patients and use all of this information together to understand more about iron and to plan a larger study.
During a heart attack, the protein troponin I is released from the heart muscle into the bloodstream. Measurements of cardiac troponin in blood are used as an aid in the diagnosis of heart attack. The SpinChip hs-cTnI test is a new high-sensitive test for measuring the amount of cardiac troponin I in the bloodstream as an aid in the diagnosis of heart attack. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that different types of blood samples (finger prick, venous whole blood and plasma) return comparable results when analysed using the SpinChip hs-cTnI test. Blood samples from at least 150 patients will be analyzed and the testing will be carried out by healthcare personnel.
Around 10% of patients with myocardial infarction (MI) present with nonobstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) which pathophysiology is often uncertain. The aim of the study is to evaluate inflammation and endothelial dysfunction biomarkers in MINOCA patients during both acute and stable phases, comparing them with those with MI and obstructive coronary arteries (MICAD).
Heart rate variability (HRV) is impaired in patients after myocardial infarction. Most studies so far have proved chronic beneficial effects of different types of exercise on HRV parameters. Data on acute effects of different types of exercise training (e.g. high intensity interval training [HIIT] and moderate intensity continuous training [MICT]) is scarce. Patients in the study will perform both HIIT and MICT in a random order and in-between break of at least 48 hours. A 5-minute high resolution ECG recording will be performed before and immediately after both HIIT and MICT.
Efficacy of the Pressure Optimization Protocol (POP) versus Conventional Stent Deployment Strategy during Primary PCI: An Open Label Randomized Clinical Trial The investigators will compare conventional rapid stent inflation/deflation during primary PCI with higher pressure and prolonged duration of stent deployment Study Hypothesis: The POP in stent deployment is superior to the conventional stent deployment approach with a significantly higher achievement of the TIMI III flow, significantly lesser occurrence of slow flow/no-reflow, and significantly higher rate of ST-Segment resolution during primary PCI.
This Study aims to provide an assessment of clinical presentation, management, hospital course, and prognosis of acute right ventricular infarction presenting with or without Inferior or infero-posterior wall Myocardial Infarction and the assessment of composite adverse clinical outcome after reperfusion in-hospital and post-discharge (in 30 Days Prognosis).
