Active clinical trials for "Myocardial Infarction"

Patients post acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have a high risk of mortality but the use of an implantable defibrillator in the early aftermath of an AMI has not been shown to improve patients' survival. The VEST trial recently demonstrated an improved overall survival in post AMI patients with the use of a wearable defibrillator. The same improvement was not demonstrated for the risk of sudden cardiac death. Monitoring patients after AMI using an implantable cardiac monitor (ICM) may document findings that can impact patient management and eventually improve their outcomes. We are therefore conducting the AID MI trial to examine the impact of ICM on patient management in the post AMI setting.

The purpose of this study is to assess whether hemodynamic support with an Impella-based treatment strategy initiated prior to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI)-Cardiogenic Shock (CS) improves survival and functional outcomes compared to a non-Impella-based treatment strategy.

An investigator-initiated, randomized, multicenter, two-arm, open-label study of consecutive patients presenting with STEMI and MVD Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate the difference in all-cause mortality after in-hospital staged PCI versus out-hospital staged PCI for ST-segment elevated myocardial infarction （STEMI）patients with multi-vessel Disease（MVD） Background: In primary percutaneous coronary intervention for STEMI with MVD, complete revascularization has proved to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death and myocardial infarction. However, a strategy of nonculprit-vessel PCI with the goal of complete revascularization still not to be confirmed. Compare with in-hospital staged PCI, out-hospital PCI as a strategy of nonculprit-vessel PCI for STEMI patients with MVD might have be beneficial results.

The objective of the study is to establish a de-scaling strategy of P2Y12 inhibitors (P2Y12 i) with a decrease in hemorrhagic events without increasing ischemic complications based on a Platelet Function Test (PFT).

This is an multicenter, randomized, controlled, parallel group study. ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) patients with high thrombus burden(HTB) will be allocated to one of the following: intrathrombus thrombolysis or manual aspiration thrombectomy during primary percutaneous coronary intervention(PPCI).

Type 2 myocardial infarction (MI) is common and associated with poor clinical outcomes, with as many as one in ten experiencing recurrent MI within one year, and only one in three alive at five years. Recent prospective data demonstrates two-thirds of patients with type 2 MI have underlying coronary artery disease and one-third have left ventricular systolic impairment. Importantly, this is previously unrecognised in over half of all patients, suggesting there may be opportunities to identify and treat these underlying conditions to modify clinical outcomes. The investigators will undertake a pilot randomised controlled trial in which patients will be randomised to standard care or a complex intervention involving detailed cardiology assessment for the likelihood of coronary disease or left ventricular impairment, followed by targeted investigation and treatment where underlying disease is identified. This study will inform the design and delivery of a prospective multi-centre randomised controlled trial powered for clinical outcomes.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether late recanalization in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) without Viability on Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) can reduce the reverse remodeling through the reduction of the End Systolic Volume (ESV) at 6 months.

Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome associated with de novo atrial fibrillation are randomized to benefit from either a conventional therapy associating dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) and anticoagulant or DAPT and an implantable monitoring device with a follow-up by telecardiology

To compare the long-term clinical outcomes of IVUS-guided vs angiography-guided PCI in patients with acute STEMI

The overall hypothesis of the study is that Dapagliflozin will reduce left ventricular remodeling in patients who have had a myocardial infarction.
