Filter by:This study is a prospective cohort study，we want to observe the changes of different cardiovascular antibody levels in STEMI patients undergoing emergency PCI;and combined with different cardiovascular antibody levels and various indicators, evaluate the impact of ischemia-reperfusion injury and prognosis in STEMI patients after emergency PCI.
Heparin is the first choice of anticoagulation drug for primary PCI of STEMI patients. However, the priority of use of hepairn in first medical contact or in Cathlab has not yet studied. Previous study revealed early use of antithrombotic drugs could improve patient's survival. Here we supposed that use of heparin at first medical contact could increase the TIMI flow 3 grade ratio in STEMI patients and improve patient's survival and/or reduce MACE rather than in Cathlab.
The purpose of this study is to asses the prognosis of STEMI patients without standard modifiable risk factors of cardiovascular disease (diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, hypertension and cigarette smoking) compare to patients presenting at least one of these risk factors.
The delivery of timely and appropriate care is crucial for patients with heart attacks. Blocked arteries need immediate intervention to restore blood flow. However, the intervention to open the artery is only available in large, regional hospitals. There are only 18 such hospitals across Ontario. Patients with heart attacks in smaller hospitals, where the majority of patients present, require transfer for specialized services. The smartphone application being evaluated in this study is meant to help with communication between doctors to arrange transfer of such patients. The current model for communication is based on fax machines or non-secure text messages. Additionally, these are not easily accessible for most physicians, so decisions to transfer patients may be based on incomplete information. Unnecessary transfer, treatments, and procedures expose patients and healthcare providers to undue risk. Smartphone technology is well integrated into clinical practice and widely accessible. The proposed solution being tested is secure and leverages the accessibility of smartphones. Emergency physicians can use this to quickly, securely, and accurately transmit information ensuring faster and appropriate decision making for transfers.
The overall objective of the Cholesterol Lowering via Bempedoic Acid/Ezetimibe, an ACL-Inhibiting Regimen in Acute Coronary Syndrome ACS (CLEAR ACS) study is to determine the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of bempedoic acid/ezetimibe (BA/E) in a contemporary and real-world population, enriched for older adults, women, and underrepresented racial/ethnic groups, of adults with a recent acute coronary syndrome (ACS) event independent of use of statin therapy before the ACS event.
ACCURATE will test the hypothesis that opportunistic genetic testing for Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH) in patients admitted to hospital with an acute coronary syndrome will increase the diagnosis of FH and will impact patient care and outcomes. The study will recruit patients admitted to hospital with an acute coronary syndrome, and research-based genetic testing will be conducted for known FH-causing genetic variants. The results will be returned to the patients' treating physicians. The primary endpoint will be the number of patients with a new diagnosis of FH. The secondary endpoints will be the proportion of patients who undergo intensification of lipid-lowering therapy, the lowest LDL cholesterol level achieved, and the proportion of patients reaching guideline recommended lipid targets in the 12 months after the index acute coronary syndrome.
This is a Prospective, Observational Multicenter Non-Interventional Cohort Study. The primary objective is to determine whether platelet expression of FcγRIIa is associated with risk of myocardial infarction (MI), stroke and death. Secondary objectives include: 1) Develop a score that combines clinical characteristics plus platelet expression of FcγRIIa to determine the risk of MI, stroke, and death; and 2) Determine whether platelet expression of FcγRIIa is associated with risk of major bleeding. The primary endpoint is the composite of death, MI and stroke. A secondary endpoint is the incidence of clinically significant bleeding according to the Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) scale type 2-5. Approximately 800 male and female subjects with confirmed MI [ST-segment elevation MI (STEMI) or non-ST-segment elevation MI (NSTEMI)] will be enrolled before hospital discharge for the index event. Approximately 10 sites in the United States will participate in this study. It is anticipated that it will take approximately 12 months to enroll approximately 800 subjects. The study and subject follow-up will continue until 1) at least 80 ischemic events (MI, stroke, and death) have occurred, and 2) the last subject enrolled has completed 18 months of follow-up.
Results from recent clinical trials on bone marrow mononuclear cell (BM-MNC) transplantation show that this intervention can help reduce the incidence of heart failure (HF) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, no study has evaluated the effect of the transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on a clinical endpoint such as HF. This single-blinded, randomized, multicenter trial aims to establish whether the intracoronary infusion of umbilical cord-derived Wharton's jelly MSCs (WJ-MSCs) helps prevent HF development after AMI. The study will enroll 240 patients 3 to 7 days following an AMI treated with primary percutaenous coronary intervention (PPCI). Only patients aged below 65 years with impaired LV function (LVEF < 40%) will be included. They will be randomized to receive either a single intracoronary infusion of WJ-MSCs or standard care. The primary outcome of this study is the assessment of HF development during long-term follow-up (four years). Since the efficacy of MSCs is higher than BM-MNCs after AMI in the improvement of LVEF, it would be probable that these cells may have a better clinical effect as well. However, no study has evaluated the impact of the transplantation of MSCs on a clinical endpoint such as HF. This study will help determine whether or not the infusion of intracoronary WJ-MSCs in patients
This study intends to evaluate thrombus on the basis of different methods for evaluating thrombus load The effect of aspiration on the prognosis of STEMI patients with high thrombotic load Provide a basis for the standardized use of aspiration; at the same time, discover the best benefit groups for thrombus aspiration
