Active clinical trials for "Infarction"

The aim of the study was therefore to evaluate whether myocardial deformation imaging performed by SENC allows for quantification of regional left ventricular function and is related to transmurality states of infarcted tissue in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).

The Aachener Digitale Myokardinfarkt Register (ADMIRE) is a prospektive registry study which was designed in order to obtain data of patients with acute coronary syndrome and herewith control and optimize guideline conform therapy of these patients.

Increasing air travel has resulted in a significant increase in aeromedical evacuation over the past decade. However there is only a small amount of epidemiological data available on the diagnosis, costs and transport characteristics of aeromedical evacuation cases. In the present study Cases of aeromedical evacuation by a relief organization (Workers' Samaritan Federation Germany) were analyzed based on the following criteria: age, sex and diagnosis of the patient, ventilation mode, days of illness before transport, type of transport, flight routes, flying time, flight distance, type of aircraft, type and distance of connecting transport from the destination airport to the final hospital, total cost per repatriation, and costs per flight-minute of each transport type.

The study hypothesis is that differential proteomic techniques can be used to discover new circulating biomarkers of coronary atherosclerosis in the blood of patients suffering from coronary artery disease (either stable or unstable) who will be compared to a group of patients without coronary artery disease

The purpose of the study is to use data from a health care information database to assess the risk of venous thromboembolism (blood clots), myocardial infarction (heart attacks), and stroke among women using a transdermal contraceptive system (ORTHO EVRA) for birth control compared with women using norgestimate-containing oral contraceptives with 35 mcg ethinyl estradiol.

This study will assess the relationship between collagen turnover, neurohormonal activation, scarring and left ventricle remodelling in patients 3 years following a myocardial infarction.

The purpose of this study is to determine the clinically meaningful definition and prevalence of aspirin resistance based on data linking aspirin-dependent laboratory tests to recurrent vascular events in cardiovascular patients taking aspirin.

Study of diagnostic tests for heart attack for patients with chest pain.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the performance of established and new risk preditors in predicting long term-mortality (up to ten years) of post-infarction patients.

To estimate the relative risks of acute myocardial infarction (MI) and of stroke in postmenopausal users of estrogen/progestogen (E/P) combinations and to estimate the relative risks of MI and of stroke in users of estrogen alone.
