Active clinical trials for "Infarction"

The goal of this multicenter randomized clinical trial is to test the superiority in terms of efficacy of the Angiography-derived fractional flow reserve (AIR) over that based on conventional angiography (ANGIO) strategy in the management of non-culprit lesions in STEMI patients with multivessel disease. The main questions it aims to answer are: is an Angiography-derived fractional flow reserve strategy superior to a conventional angiography strategy in reducing the occurrence of the composite efficacy endpoint of all-cause death, myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular accident, or ischemia-driven revascularization. is an Angiography-derived fractional flow reserve strategy superior to a conventional angiography strategy in reducing the occurrence of the composite safety endpoint of of contrast-associated acute kidney injury and Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) type 3-5. Participants will be randomized after the successful treatment of the culprit lesion to one of the two strategies and prospectively followed-up.

As an effective treatment for acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), early reperfusion may reduce the infarct size and improve the prognosis of patients. However, it remains uncertain whether adjunctive thrombolytic therapy administered immediately prior to primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) improves outcomes in patients undergoing the procedure within 120 minutes. In this investigator-initiated, prospective, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, subjects meeting the inclusion/exclusion criteria should be randomly assigned 1:1 to the trial group (r-SAK) or the control group (placebo). The risk of major adverse cardiovascular events within 90 days will be observed.

The study intends to evaluate the efficacy of early rhBNP on myocardial remodeling and reperfusion in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction after percutaneous coronary intervention

This is an international, multicenter, parallel-group, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in patients who have been stabilized during hospitalization for acute heart failure, evaluating the effect of in-hospital initiation of dapagliflozin versus placebo on the clinical outcome of cardiovascular death or worsening heart failure.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. The most important aspect of CVD secondary prevention is adherence to guideline-indicated pharmacological therapy which globally remains low. In previous studies, a Polypill containing fixed dose combination of essential drugs have improved patient adherence to these drugs. The effect of such a strategy on pharmacological therapy uptake, cost-effectiveness, and CVD recurrence in our setting will be assessed in this study. Participants hospitalized in three referral hospitals in Isfahan, Iran because of an acute myocardial infarction (MI) (ST elevation MI (STEMI) or non-ST elevation MI (NSTEMI)) will be randomized to either receiving Polypill or usual care after MI. Patient recruitment will be carried out at the time of patient discharge from the hospitals.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety of prasugrel monotherapy without aspirin versus 12-month dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) in patients with STEMI using platinum-chrome everolimus-eluting stent (PtCr-EES: SYNERGYTM).

Dapagliflozin is one of the SGLT-2 inhibiters. Recent clinical trials have demonstrated that SGLT-2 inhibitors are effective for treating heart failure. The DAPA-HF clinical trial has demonstrated that the effects of empagliflozin and dapagliflozin improve renal outcomes and reduce all-cause and cardiovascular death in patients with HFrEF[1]. However, its effect on myocardial infarction, the most common disease leading to death in the population, has not been evaluated sufficiently. A meta-analysis has demonstrated that compared with the control, SGLT2 inhibitor is associated with a reduction in the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), myocardial infarction, cardiovascular mortality and all-cause mortality[2]. It seems that dapagliflozin might be effective for patients with acute myocardial infarction based on these studies. Thus, this study aims to evaluate the effect of dapagliflozin on short-term prognosis in patients with acute myocardial infarction compared to placebo.

This is a prospective, open, single-arm, the real world of clinical trials. The researchers plan to recruit 300 eligible patients. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of butylphthalide in the treatment of ischemic stroke, and to establish a population pharmacokinetic model of butylphthalide in elderly patients to explore its blood drug concentration. Correlation with its efficacy and adverse reactions.

Different types of statins show different influences on glycometabolism. There are no systemic analyses of the effects that statins exert on the metabolism of glucoses so far in China. This research aims to compare impacts on the glycometabolism of pitavastatin in AMI patients with atorvastatin and to accumulate data for guiding the utilization of statins.

To compare the effect of a single high dose of atorvastatin versus rosuvastatin preloading on microvascular coronary perfusion as determined by CTFC in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing PCI.
