Active clinical trials for "Myocardial Infarction"

Rupture of a coronary artery plaque leads to thrombotic occlusion of the coronary artery and would present as ST segment elevation myocardial infarction. Early treatment with aspirin and early primary percutaneous coronary intervention are indicated. Anticoagulation therapy, usually with unfractionated heparin, is required during percutaneous coronary intervention. Investigators hypothesis is that pretreatment with unfractionated heparin in addition to aspirin at first medical contact may facilitate spontaneous reperfusion of culprit artery and procedural thrombotic complication in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction without significant risk of bleeding complications.

This is a prospective, single-center clinical trial. AccuFFRangio (ArteryFlow Technology Co., Ltd., Hangzhou, China) is a novel method for evaluating the functional significance of coronary stenosis by computing the pressure in the vessel based on angiographic images. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy and prognostic implications of AccuFFRangio in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

It is a prospective, multicenter, randomised controlled, open-label, blinded endpoint assessment trial, to compare the strategy of immediate complete revascularisation and staged complete revascularisation in ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction patients with multivessel coronary disease.

This study was performed as a randomized controlled a study with a pre test-post test design, aimed to determine affect of reflexology masagge to the pain, anxiety and comfort level on the patients that are percutaneous coronary intervention.

This project aims to reduce disparities in cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor control and in rates of heart attacks and strokes among the low-income, racially / ethnically diverse Americans who receive primary care at safety net community health centers (CHCs). To achieve this important objective, the investigators will adapt a successful clinical decision support (CDS) system currently used in CVD care at several large, integrated health care systems, to meet the patient needs and workflow processes of 60 CHCs. The investigators will determine if use of this CDS improves CVD care, reduces disparities in CVD care and outcomes, and increases patient engagement in CVD treatment choices, in CHCs. Results of this randomized trial will help accelerate the translation of major investments in health informatics systems into substantial clinical benefits for large numbers of high-risk, low-income patients. Results will also provide a template for CVD care improvement that can be spread to other CHCs and extended to other clinical conditions.

The goal of the proposed study is to determine whether a liberal transfusion strategy (transfusion trigger at Hb < 10 gm/dl) in Veterans at high cardiac risk who undergo major open vascular and general surgery operations is associated with decreased risk of adverse postoperative outcomes compared to a restrictive transfusion strategy (transfusion trigger at Hb < 7 gm/dl).

Incidence of ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) is rising and the existing emergency medical aid system for STEMI was not enough for timely perfusion treatment. No existing research with high-quality data focuses on the characteristic of STEMI incidence and regional network construction. Aiming of Guangdong GAMI(reGional network for Acute Myocardial Infarction) project is to establish effective collaborative regional network system for STEMI patients treatment.

The purpose of this study is to look at the link between emotional stress and heart disease in men and women. Taking part in this study involves one clinic visit, one week of at home monitoring, and follow up phone calls every 6 months for 3 years.

The aim of this prospective randomized controlled clinical trial will evaluate the sensitivity, precision and effectiveness of photoelectrochemical immunosensor for early diagosis of acute myocardial infarction.

In a prospective observational cohort study (n = 250) the investigators aim to assess the correlation between cardiac biomarkers, advanced echocardiography and HS severity and determine whether these are prognostic markers of heart disease in patients suffering from hidradenitis suppurativa (HS).
