Filter by:No-reflow is defined as the lack of myocardial perfusion despite opening of the epicardial coronary vessels in the setting of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). It has been demonstrated that either impaired flow or the absence of flow is associated with an increased rate of mortality. Among available treatment options, intracoronary adenosine is widely used in clinical practice, moreover, adrenaline is a safe alternative for the cases where use of adenosine is limited due to presence of hypotension or bradycardia. Nonetheless, evidence from retrospective and observational studies suggest that intracoronary adrenaline is well tolerated and may exert encouraging effects in prompt recovery of flow in these patients. However, very limited data are available on efficacy of intracoronary (IC) adrenaline in normotensive patients. Therefore, this study is planned to study the hypothesis that; intracoronary adrenaline is safe and has significantly higher efficacy as compared to adenosine for the treatment of no-reflow in normotensive patients with acute coronary syndrome.
The principal objective is to evaluate the effect of CPAP treatment on blood pressure (BP) in normotensive patients with nondipper circadian pattern with sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (SAHS). The secondary objectives are: i) To evaluate the prevalence of the different circadian patterns of BP in ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) ii) To establish the relationship between CPAP compliance and BP response; iii) Identify which ABPM variables and biomarkers are related to BP response; iv) Evaluate changes in the biomarkers' profile after CPAP treatment. Methodology: Open-label, parallel, prospective, randomized and controlled trial including normotensive patients with nondipper circadian pattern diagnosed with severe SAHS without significant somnolence. 64 patients with nondipper circadian pattern will be included and will be randomized to receive CPAP (32) or conservative treatment (32). ABPM and blood sample collection will be performed at the beginning of the study and at 3 months.
