Active clinical trials for "Infarction"

Medical information is increasingly processed electronically. This study will describe the similarities and differences in the data recorded by different databases of electronic healthcare database. These will include the General Practice Research Database (GPRD) and the Myocardial Ischaemia National Audit Project (MINAP) and hospital episode statistics (HES).

The purpose of this study is first to evaluate absolute myocardial blood flow and resistance over time in the acute and sub-acute phase of myocardial infarction and second, to correlate these parameters to preservation of left ventricular function and long-term outcome.

Although there has been increasing interest in the association between cancer and cerebrovascular disease, the underlying pathophysiology of stroke in cancer patients is still not fully understood. The aim of this study is to investigate the stroke mechanisms in patients with cancer-associated stroke.

The proposed study is a registry of patients treated with primary angioplasty for acute myocardial infarction. The aim of this registry is to define the outcomes of patients treated for acute, ST-segment myocardial infarction (STEMI) at community hospitals without on-site cardiac surgery programs that have completed the Cardiovascular Patient Outcomes and Research Team (C-PORT) Primary Angioplasty Development program. The primary medical outcome for the registry is the combined incidence of death, recurrent non-fatal myocardial infarction and stroke.

This study is performed to observe the incidence of major cardiovascular events in Korean patients with AMI after giving pitavastatin 2mg and 4mg longer than 1 year.

The purpose of this study is to determine if heredity influences the risk of life-threatening heart rhythms (ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation) after heart attack (myocardial infarction).

This study uses the PharMetrics and MarketScan US health care insurance claims database to estimate relative risks for non-fatal venous thromboembolism (including cerebral venous sinus thrombosis), ischemic stroke, and acute myocardial infarction (heart attack), in current users of ORTHO EVRA (norelgestromin and ethinyl estradiol contraceptive patch) compared to current users of oral levonorgestrel-containing oral contraceptives with 30 micrograms ethinyl estradiol, with special attention to duration of use.

The Copenhagen City Heart Study is an ongoing cardiovascular population study initiated in 1976 which has examined approximately 25,000 individuals from the general population. The initial sample has been re-invited up to four times and supplemented by younger individuals. The study includes questionnaires, clinical assessment and biomarkers. The population have been followed in a number of outcome registries and more than 900 scientific papers have been published.

The purpose of this study is to examine the incidence of acute myocardial infarction (MI) occurring after an influenza-like illness using linked primary care and disease registry databases.

Practice in management of myocardial ischemia and infarction has changed significantly over the past 20 years, both in terms of immediate management and secondary prevention. The aim of this observational study is to utilize the established record linkage data available in Tayside to investigate the trends in survivors of myocardial infarction in Tayside since 1994.
