Active clinical trials for "Infarction"

To evaluate the relationships of compliance in taking aspirin or aspirin placebo with the risk of major cardiovascular endpoints, using data collected in the Physicians' Health Study.

To evaluate factors associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in a cohort of 795 men and women aged 75 years or older at the time of a comprehensive examination conducted between 1984 and 1987.

To test the hypotheses that the risk of myocardial infarction and/or stroke is associated with elevated plasma levels of homocysteine, and low plasma levels of folate, vitamins B12 and B6.

To analyze existing data from the Physicians Health Study (PHS), a randomized primary prevention trial of low-dose aspirin and beta carotene conducted among 22,071 U.S. male physicians, to address questions concerning aspirin and cardiovascular (CV) disease that could not adequately be addressed during the randomized aspirin period.

High-sensitive cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) is a cornerstone for diagnosing acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, it is often challenging to diagnose AMI in patients with elevated hs-cTnT before a rise or fall of hs-cTnT can be observed. The elevations of hs-cTnT are caused not only by AMI, but also by other cardiac or even non-cardiac diseases. Thresholds above the 99th percentile have been proposed to improve the specificity and to accelerate the rule in of myocardial infarction. This study aimed to find a more accurate cut-off value to rule in AMI in patients with elevated hs-cTnT.

The study of biochemical risk factors for cardiovascular diseases is important not only for analysis, but also for preventive measures, given that changes in the level of biomarkers can be detected before the first clinical manifestations of CVD. Accordingly, patients at high CV risk may have additional motivation to lead a healthy lifestyle. In addition, information on biochemical risk markers can be used to optimize the clinical management of patients.

Patients with STEMI and multivessel disease in whom the culprit lesion has been successfully revascularized during prmimary PCI, will be randomized to in-hospital or after-discharge complete revascularization. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of these two different strategies in terms of hospital stay.

The quality of life, linked to physical, social and mental performance in people with coronary heart disease represents the primary goals in terms of rehabilitation. This is often developed to meet the expected performance standard in order to give the person effective autonomy. However, is the occupational balance always evaluated? and this management adapted? Does occupational therapist, expert in autonomy and independence in multiple illnesses and disabilities, has a major role to play in cardiac rehabilitation? This area of expertise and the application of occupational therapy to coronary patients seems appropriate, if not necessary. However, there are few scientific studies on the need to include occupational therapy within cardiac rehabilitation protocols.

Cardiovascular disease, and in particular ischemic heart disease, is the main cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide today (1). Myocardial infarction (MI) presents the most serious clinical entity through its short-term life threatening involvement. The many advances in the management of IDM during the acute phase, namely the increasingly frequent and effective use of reperfusion means (angioplasty and thrombolysis) as well as pharmacological progress, in particular, the management of anti-thrombotic treatment has enabled a significant reduction in intra-hospital mortality, in the medium and long term (2). In fact, the mortality rate dropped from 25-30% before the creation of the cardiac intensive care units (ICUS) around the 1960s, to around 16% in the 1980s and reaching 4 to 6% today. In the latest data from the French FAST MI 2015 register (French Registry of Acute ST-Elevation or Non-ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction) mortality was 2.8% in hospital (3) and 5.3% at 6 months (4). Nevertheless, mortality rates diverge from one register to another and are generally higher compared to randomized controlled clinical trials. In our country, due to the aging of the Tunisian population (currently the oldest population in Africa), as well as the rise in the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors (5), the incidence of IDM is clearly increasing. However, our local specificities concerning the management of this pathology and the intra-hospital mortality which results from it, remain little described despite the importance of these data in the development of personalized algorithms and the improvement of the quality of this support. the management of CAD ST + in the public sector poses more and more efficiency problems and moves away from international recommendations in our country, an assessment of our national situation is necessary. The objectives of the study are, primary, the incidence of new cases that consult the emergency room for CAD ST + and the treatment delivered to the emergency room, in particular the nature of the treatment for obstruction (primary angioplasty or thrombolysis). Secondary, the evaluation of hospital complications and the future of patients on D30 and after one year from the inclusion's day.

This study examined the risk factors and the influence of the type of anesthetic used during transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) on subsequent incidence of myocardial infarction (MI).
