Active clinical trials for "Myocardial Infarction"

This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of MLC1501 in patients with stroke. Eligible participants will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to orally receive MLC1501 high-dose twice a day, MLC1501 low-dose twice a day, or matching placebo for 24 weeks.

The RIP-HIGH trial is a two-arm randomized controlled trial aiming to compare the impact of combined remote ischemic conditioning (RIP) and local ischemic postconditioning (PostC) vs. standard of care on clinical outcome in high-risk ST-elevation myocardial infarction patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention.

The investigators will be comparing the effects of two different drug treatment strategies, in patients with history of a heart attack, on different markers of bleeding and clotting risk. Both treatment strategies are already approved for the indication of improving outcomes in high-risk patients with history of heart attack.

This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of compound Danshen dropping pills (CDDP) in improving ventricular remodeling and cardiac function after acute anterior wall ST-Elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI). 268 patients with acute anterior wall STEMI after primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (pPCI) are randomly assigned 1:1 to CDDP group(n=134) and control group(n=134) with follow-up of 24 weeks. Both groups are treated with standard therapy of STEMI, with the CDDP group administrating 20 tablets of CDDP before pPCI and 10 tablets three times a day after pPCI and the control group treated with placebo at the same time. The primary endpoint is 24-week echocardiographic including left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF) , left ventricular end-diastolic volume index (LVEDVI) and left ventricular end-systolic volume index (LVESVI).The secondary endpoint is the change in N terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide（NT-proBNP ）level, arrhythmia and cardiovascular events (death, cardiac arrest or cardiopulmonary resuscitation, hospitalization due to heart failure or angina pectoris).

Cardiac events can often result in debilitating and persistent psychological symptoms. A key question involves whether optimal treatment of cardiac-induced posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) reduces PTSD symptoms and thereby may offset the risk of recurrent or worsening cardiovascular disease. Cardiac-induced PTSD 1) is prevalent, 2) features symptoms unique to internal ongoing somatic threat, with fears and worries that can be distinguished from PTSD resulting from external causes, 3) is persistent, 4) is associated with negative physical and emotional consequences, and 5) has not been the subject of randomized-controlled treatment trials (RCT). There is preliminary evidence suggesting that patients with cardiac-disease induced PTSD might particularly profit from EMDR. Nevertheless, this possibility has not been tested in cardiac-induced PTSD. Currently, patients with cardiac-induced PTSD are not routinely offered trauma-focused therapies, with a lack of scientific evidence likely being one major reason for this omission. If our proposed RCT shows that EMDR can be an effective treatment for patients with ACS-induced PTSD, EMDR could be routinely implemented as first-line treatment. The RCT outcomes might inform larger trials to test whether poor prognosis in terms of major adverse cardiovascular events can be improved through EMDR in patients with cardiac-induced PTSD.

This study is designed to compare the safety and effectiveness of blood clot (thrombus) removal in subjects presenting with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) with the enVast coronary system versus conventional intervention.

Rationale: Pump failure due to acute myocardial infarction (AMI) can lead to cardiogenic shock (CS): a state of low blood flow to end-organs with subsequent multi-organ failure that is associated with high mortality rated. The first line pharmacologic treatment strategy in CS is noradrenaline. This vasopressor drug is used to maintain adequate blood pressures. The assumption is that a mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) ≥ 65 mmHg will improve flow and thereby tissue perfusion of myocardium and other tissues (e.g. renal). However, there is no evidence that an increase in MAP, if achieved by noradrenaline, leads to greater end-organ blood flow and better outcomes. Objective: With this study the investigators aim to investigate the (cost-)effectiveness of reduced noradrenaline in patients with CS by using a lower MAP target of ≥ 55 mmHg, compared to ≥ 65 mmHg. The investigators hypothesize that reduced use of noradrenaline will improve overall survival and decrease renal failure requiring renal replacement therapy. Study design: Open label, randomized controlled multicenter trial Study population: Adults patients with CS due to AMI Intervention: Treatment strategy of reduced noradrenaline, by using a lower MAP target ( ≥ 55 mmHg). Main study endpoint: composite of all-cause mortality and severe renal failure leading to renal replacement therapy within 30-days after randomization.

Combination therapy of rosuvastatin 5mg and ezetimibe 10 mg showed similar achievement rate in decreasing LDL cholesterol level by 50% as single use of rosuvastatin 20 mg. This trial aims to prove non-inferiority of concomitant usage of low dose rosuvastatin and ezetimibe among patients with acute myocardial infarction who went through percutaneous coronary intervention at decreasing major adverse cardiac events compared to the efficacy of single use of high dose rosuvastatin.

The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the effect of eHealth-based cardiac rehabilitation with the effect of usual care on exercise capacity and qualify of life in patients after myocardial infarction.

This study will compare the effect of HFNC versus standard oxygen administration after elective esophagectomy for cancer.
