Active clinical trials for "Myocardial Infarction"

This study aims to investigate life-style and psycho social factors of major cardiovascular events in patients with myocardial infarction in three different provinces of Iran and to design a risk assessment chart for major cardiovascular events in patients with MI.

Myocardial infarction (MI) is a major contributor to morbidity and mortality in China. The goal of this interventional, randomised controlled clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a single administration of Nivolumab to the patients presenting with an acute anterior ST-segmental elevated myocardial infarction. Researchers will investigate if Nivolumab treatment can effectively and safely reduce infarct size as well as improve cardiac function of the patients with acute myocardial infarction.

The purpose of the study is to assess the safety and efficacy of the BioFreedom Ultra stent for treatment of STEMI patients. Besides, in patients who are clinically indicated for a stage procedure, Investigators aim to assess the angiographic and endovascular healing of BioFreedom Ultra stent at one month This is a prospective, single center, post marketing registry. Investigators aim to recruit 50 patients. All enrolled patients will be followed up for 12 months. Restudy Subgroup For subjects who are clinically indicated for staged procedure, they will be recruited into restudy subgroup. Restudy angiogram of target lesion will be performed at 28 (±7) days. Intravascular OCT will be performed. The primary endpoint is target lesion failure (TLF) defined as composite of cardiovascular death, target-vessel related myocardial infarction (Q-wave and non-Q-wave), or ischemia-driven target lesion revascularization within 12 months (device-oriented outcome per ARC definitions) The co-primary endpoint in subjects who require stage procedure is stent strut coverage (degree of endothelialisation) as assessed by optic coherence tomography (OCT) at one month Secondary endpoints include All-cause mortality Cardiovascular death (cardiovascular and undetermined) The composite of cardiovascular death, Target Lesion (TL)-related myocardial infarction and TL-related definite or probable stent thrombosis at one year. Stroke disabling and non-disabling ARC definition Myocardial infarction ARC Stent thrombosis Clinically driven TLR at any follow-up time point Clinically driven target vessel revascularization Any revascularization within 12 months following the index procedure, unless they are planned within the 1st month Bleeding per BARC criteria For subjects in restudy subgroup Restudy angiographic result (QCA) OCT parameters including neointimal volume, neointimal area etc

Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the preferred revascularization strategy for patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Compared with bare-metal stents (BMS) and early-generation thick-strut polymer-based drug-eluting stents (DES), newer-generation DES with thinner strut stent platforms and durable or biodegradable polymers have been shown to improve long-term safety and efficacy outcomes among patients with STEMI. Accordingly, the use of newer-generation DES over BMS is currently recommended by the most recent guidelines. Vessel healing at the culprit site after DES implantation is however substantially delayed in patients with acute STEMI as compared to those with chronic coronary syndromes and is associated with a long-term risk for recurrent stent-related adverse clinical outcomes. These findings highlight the need for future iterations in modern DES technology to further improve clinical outcomes following PCI in this highest-risk patient subset. Current guidelines recommend dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) consisting of aspirin and a potent P2Y12 receptor inhibitor for 12 months after primary PCI for STEMI, unless there are contraindications such as excessive risk of bleeding. A recent meta-analysis of five large-scale randomized clinical trials including a total of 32'145 patients, of whom 4,070 (12.7%) patients were treated for STEMI, indicated that 1-3 months of DAPT followed by P2Y12 inhibitor-based single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT) after second-generation DES implantation in patients with chronic and acute coronary syndromes was associated with lower risk for major bleeding and similar risk for stent thrombosis, all-cause death, myocardial infarction, and stroke compared with conventional DAPT. These findings suggest that a potent P2Y12 inhibitor-based SAPT following a short DAPT course (1-3 months) may represent a preferable treatment option, which is associated with similar ischemic, but lower bleeding risk, for patients undergoing PCI with newer-generation DES compared to standard conventional 12 months DAPT. The question of whether SAPT using a potent oral P2Y12 inhibitor (ticagrelor or prasugrel) without aspirin (aspirin-free strategy) after primary PCI with a newest-generation thin-strut polymer-free drug-eluting stent is safe and effective compared to a conventional guideline-recommended 6- to 12-month DAPT course among patients with STEMI remains uncertain.

This study seeks to investigate the clinical value of novel biomarkers and echocardiographic indices, including myocardial work parameters, in patients with first acute myocardial infarction. The relationship between novel echocardiographic indices with clinical data, biochemical data in different myocardial infarction types will be attempted. Prognostic implications of those indices will be explored.

The PROTEUS study is a randomized, cross-over, open-label, pharmacodynamic trial designed to compare the antiplatelet effect of reduced maintenance doses of prasugrel and ticagrelor in stable patients who recently had non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction or unstable angina).

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effectiveness of Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cell (UC MSC) therapy in patients with STEMI against infarct myocardial size reduction and prevent the incidence of heart failure in the future

Cardiac rehabilitation is a medically recommended program for patients with certain heart conditions. It includes exercise training, health education, and counseling. Unfortunately, many patients do not participate in cardiac rehabilitation. Some find it challenging to attend the in-person sessions. This study aims to compare two methods of delivering cardiac rehabilitation: in-person and through telehealth. The investigators want to know if the effects of these two programs are alike and if certain individuals benefit more from one program over the other.

The incidence of cardiovascular disease is still high in China under the condition of non-standard treatment of Western medicine. Acute coronary plaque rupture and thrombosis is an extreme manifestation of instability of "vulnerable plaque", which is the result of the joint action of multiple factors. The intervention of unstable plaque reversal from multiple factors is inherently reasonable. Compared with the treatment of thrombosis and unstable plaque in western medicine, quick acting Jiuxin Pill can not only calm and relieve pain for pain and other symptoms, but also regulate immune inflammation and metabolic disorder, improve microcirculation and anti myocardial ischemia. In order to evaluate the efficacy, safety and modern scientific basis of Suxiao Jiuxin Pill in acute myocardial infarction (AMI), the investigators designed this study.

The aim of the Naples PCI registry is to collect prospective data on baseline clinical, laboratory, and angiographic characteristics of patients undergoing PCI for acute or chronic coronary artery disease. All patients receive clinical follow-up at hospital discharge and at 1-year follow-up with the objective to assess clinical outcomes, including death, cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, stent thrombosis, target-lesion and target-vessel revascularization, contrast-induced acute kidney injury, and bleeding events.
