Active clinical trials for "Myocardial Infarction"

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.

Despite a decrease in voltage amplitude in post-infarction scar areas, greater voltage amplitudes are sometimes observed at the time of local extrasystoles mechanically induced by catheters. However, no study has investigated whether these electrical changes are associated with mechanical changes in local contractility. However, the voltage is closely correlated to the local contractile function as evidenced by the use of the NOGA system.

The goal of the study is to assess the prevalence of contrast-associated acute kidney injury in patients with stable coronary artery disease, ST-elevation myocardial infarction and unstable angina/NSTEMI, assess the risk factors of contrast-induced acute kidney injury development and the influence of contrast-induced kidney injury on 1-year prognosis.

In this study, in order to better understand the mechanism of troponin clearance and the reason for elevated troponin levels in patients with CKD, we aim to evaluate quantitatively the excretion of troponin in the urine in patients with and without CKD, and with and without myocardial injury. We will compare urinary troponin levels with blood troponin levels in these patients. In addition, we will compare the levels of hs-cTnT and hs-cTnI in the patients' sera and urine.

This study aims to identify genetic causes of adverse events after cardiac surgery, such as atrial fibrillation, myocardial infarction, renal dysfunction and heart failure. Patients undergoing heart surgery at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Texas Heart Institute are eligible to participate.

The aim of this research is to study the prognostic role of a selected combination of cytokines and adipokines in patients with myocardial infarction, as well as to determine their role in the development of adverse cardiac remodeling.

This is an European prospective cohort study from February 2023 until February 2024. The investigators want to analyze the clinical success, efficacy and safety of consecutive patients who presented with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for de novo heavily calcified culprit lesion using plaque modification devices before stent implantation.

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is one of the most important diseases threatening human life. The existing MI prognosis prediction scales mostly predict the incidence of death, recurrent MI and heart failure through 6-8 clinical text indicators, and the data are collected relatively simply. Myocardial remodeling, as an adverse pathological change that can start and continue to progress in the early stage after myocardial infarction, is the main pathological mechanism of heart failure and death. However, there is no quantitative early-warning model of myocardial remodeling, and the clinical guidance of early intervention is lacking. Our previous study found that cardiac magnetic resonance imaging can accurately quantify the necrotic area and recoverable myocardium in the edematous myocardium after myocardial infarction. In this study, machine learning algorithm, variable convolution network (DCN) and capsule network (capsnet) are used to build a new neural network architecture. Structural feature extraction of multi-modal clinical image data such as MRI and ultrasound is realized. Combined with the established database of 3000 patients with myocardial infarction, the multimodal feature matrix will be constructed, and a variety of classifiers such as support vector machine (SVM) and random forest (RF) will be used for quantitative prediction of myocardial remodeling, and the effects of different classifiers were evaluated. It is expected that this project will establish a quantitative early warning model of myocardial remodeling after acute myocardial infarction in line with the characteristics of Chinese people. The same type of data outside the database will be used for verification to establish an efficient and stable early warning model.

Despite the year-on-year decrease, coronary artery disease (CAD) still remains one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide. With advances in technology and our understanding of cardiac disease, we can now treat CAD using minimally invasive interventional techniques. This has revolutionised treatment for and improved the lives of many patients with CAD. Although trials have assessed various therapeutic strategies in various populations, real-world evidence of intervention and medical treatment among patients with CAD is increasingly recognised as an important part of providing safety and efficacy data and improving the care we provide. Regional heart attack services have improved clinical outcomes following ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) by facilitating early reperfusion by primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Early discharge after primary PCI is welcomed by patients and increases the efficiency of health care. This data will add to that literature by assessing the characteristics and outcomes of patients with CAD, concentrating on those who are discharged via the early discharge pathway. It will also identify and characterise predictors of outcomes, and improve risk stratification and diagnostic evaluation.
