About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction focused on measuring Remote ischemic conditioning, Cost-effectiveness analysis

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

(1) age ≥ 18 years, (2) symptom duration of ≤ 12 hours prior to admission, and (3) ST-segment elevation ≥ 0.1 mV in two or more contiguous electrocardiogram (ECG) leads

Exclusion Criteria:

(1) diagnosis not confirmed during hospital admission, (2) history of previous myocardial infarction, (3) previous CABG, and (4) chest pain > 12 hours prior to admission

Sites / Locations

  • Department of Cardiology, Aarhus University Hospital

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

No Intervention

Arm Label

Intervention group

Control group

Arm Description

Remote ischemic conditioning through intermittent arm ischemia with four cycles of alternating 5-minute inflation followed by 5-minute deflation of a blood pressure cuff performed in the ambulance during transport to primary percutaneous coronary intervention.

Standard treatment with primary percutaneous coronary intervention alone.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) = [difference in total cardiovascular medical care costs between treatment groups] / [difference in major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular event (MACCE)-free survival between treatment groups]
Data for the economic evaluation are collected from Danish nationwide registries and validated with medical record review. Charges from the Diagnosis Related Group (DRG) and the Danish Ambulatory Grouping System /DAGS) are used to calculate total cardiovascular medical care costs in the two treatment groups.
