Left Ventricular Function Assessment After Acute Myocardial Infarction: Comparison Between Bi-,...
Acute Myocardial Infarctioncompare measurements of left ventricular volumes and LVEF obtained by 2DE, 3DE, and CMR after a ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) complicated by systolic left ventricular dysfunction
Reperfusion Time in ST Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI)
Myocardial InfarctionReperfusion delay in STEMI has been shown to be excessive in our community. In order to improve delay a fast track (direct transfer in catheterization laboratory) has been implemented. The present study aims at evaluating the benefits of this procedure.
Efficacy and Safety of Prehospital Administration of Bivalirudin in STEMI Patients
Acute Myocardial InfarctionThe purpose of this study is to describe the efficacy and safety of prehospital administration of bivalirudin, as a substitute for heparin, in patients with acute myocardial infarction redirected for primary angioplasty bypassing local hospitals, immediately after the diagnosis is confirmed via tele-transmission of a 12-lead electrocardiogram.
Subclinical Thyroid Dysfunction and Risk of Myocardial Infarction and Stroke
Cardiovascular DiseasesHeart Diseases3 moreTo examine the association of subclinical hypothyroidism and risk of myocardial infarction and stroke in a large prospective cohort of post-menopausal women.
Dietary Fatty Acids, PPAR Activated Genes, and CHD
Coronary DiseaseCardiovascular Diseases2 moreTo examine the relationship between genetic and dietary factors that modify the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD).
VLDL and LDL Particle Types as Coronary Heart Disease Risk Factors
Cardiovascular DiseasesHeart Diseases5 moreTo evaluate very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) and low density lipoprotein (LDL) particle types as predictors of initial coronary events.
Heavy Metals, Obesity and Cardiovascular Risk - Ancillary to Look AHEAD
Diabetes MellitusNon-insulin Dependent5 moreTo evaluate the relationship of baseline toenail chromium concentrations to weight loss, as well as the interaction between heavy metals and the beneficial effects of weight loss.
Protein S and Myocardial Infarction
Cardiovascular DiseasesHeart Diseases1 moreTo test the hypothesis that low levels of free protein S, a natural anticoagulant protein in plasma, were associated with an increased incidence of myocardial infarction in middle aged men and women.
Mediators of Social Support in Coronary Disease
Cardiovascular DiseasesCoronary Disease3 moreTo determine prospectively the extent to which structural and functional aspects of social support influences 'hard' cardiac events such as death and non-fatal myocardial infarction in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and to identify the behavioral and biological mediators of these influences.
Effect of Drug Therapy on Reinfarction Risk in Women
Cardiovascular DiseasesMyocardial Infarction1 moreTo evaluate the safety of calcium-channel blockers in the secondary prevention of myocardial infarction in women.
