Arrhythmia Genetics in the NEtherlandS

Myocardial Infarction FirstVentricular Fibrillation

The AGNES case-control set consists of individuals with a first acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction. AGNES cases have ECG- registered ventricular fibrillation occurring before reperfusion therapy for an acute and first ST-elevation myocardial infarction. AGNES controls are individuals with a first acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction but without ventricular fibrillation. All cases and controls are recruited at seven heart centers in The Netherlands. The investigators' exclude individuals with an actual non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction, prior myocardial infarction, congenital heart defects, known structural heart disease, severe comorbidity, electrolyte disturbances, trauma at presentation, recent surgery, previous coronary artery bypass graft or use of class I and III antiarrhythmic drugs. Individuals who develop ventricular fibrillation during or after percutaneous coronary intervention are not eligible. Furthermore, because early reperfusion limits the opportunity of developing ventricular fibrillation, potential control subjects undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention within 2 h after onset of myocardial ischemia symptoms were not included. This time interval is based on the observation that >90% of cases develop ventricular fibrillation within 2 h after onset of the complaint of symptoms.

Study on High-sensitivity Troponin 0h/1h for Rapid Diagnosis of Non-ST-segment Elevation Myocardial...

Non-ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction

The purpose of the study is to establish a high-sensitivity troponin 0h/1h process for the diagnosis of patients suspected of NSTEMI for the Chinese population, obtain the inclusion and exclusion criteria for diagnosis of these patients and compare the new process with the existing diagnosing methods and processes, including the 3h and 6h processes more extensively used at present and the ECG combined with troponin diagnosis, so as to explore a confirmation model suitable for the Chinese population.

Rapid Use of High-sensitive Cardiac Troponin I for ruling-in and Ruling-out of Acute Myocardial...

Myocardial InfarctionChest Pain

Early rule-in or rule-out of myocardial infarction (MI) is essential in patients presenting to the Emergency Department with chest pain. Recently, the European Society of Cardiology has suggested an accelerated 0h/1h algorithm to rule-in or rule-out MI as a valid alternative to the standard 0h/3h approach. So far, the 0h/1h algorithm has only been validated for certain high-sensitive Troponin assays. Moreover, it is unknown if MI can be ruled-out by measuring hs-cTn already at 30 minutes (0h/30m) after presentation to the Emergency Department. This prospective cohort study aims to investigate, if a high-sensitive Troponin assay can rule-in or rule-out MI, when using a 0h/30m and a 0h/1h algorithm. Serial blood samples will be drawn from each patient and used for biomarker analysis. In addition, patients will be asked to complete a detailed questionnaire on chest pain characteristics.

Instantaneous Wave-Free Ratio and Fractional Flow Reserve for the Assessment of Non Culprit Lesions...

ST Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction

Functional assessment of non-culprit lesions during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute coronary syndrome could improve risk stratification and shorten the duration of hospital stay by decreasing the need for additional non-invasive stress testing to detect residual myocardial ischemia. The investigators aimed to assess the reliability of the instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) and fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurements in non-culprit coronary lesions during the acute and subacute phase of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

MRI Study of the Structural and Functional Rehabilitation in the Cerebral Infarction Patients With...

Cerebral StrokeDiabetes Mellitus

Diabetes mellitus (DM) plays an important role in the occurrence of the cerebral infarction (CI). Clinical studies have demonstrated that the CI patients with DM had a poor prognosis compared with those without DM. Previous magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies have shown that patients with DM had abnormalities in cerebral vessels, nerves and functions, similar with the findings in mice models. In this study, with multi-modal MRI technologies, investigators tend to observe structural and functional changes of the brain in both DM and non-DM CI patients and assess their neural rehabilitation using clinical scales in the following 6 months. Investigators also expect to find out dynamic changes of brain structure and function, to reveal the weights of factors including brain blood vessels, nerves and function remodeling related with stroke recovery, as well as the potential mechanism in CI patients with DM.

Finding LCX AMI With Posterior ECG LeadS

Myocardial Infarction

Along with symptoms of chest pain, the presence of ST segment elevations on ECG is the criterion usually used in practice to identify patients with acute coronary artery occlusion and is essential for the direct and acute referral of patients for primary PCI. However, ECG does not always reflect changes in the posterior wall of the heart, often equivalent to the left circumflex coronary artery's (LCX) supply area, resulting in an underrepresentation of LCX as culprit artery in STEMI populations. There is a general concern that some patients with genuine acute occlusion of LCX may present without ST segment elevation and be denied reperfusion therapy, resulting in larger infarction and worse outcome. The aim of this trial is to implement record of posterior ECG leads (V7, V8 and V9) in addition to the standard 12-lead ECG in the pre-hospital setting and to evaluate the clinical impact of this implementation: In comparison to a control cohort of STEMI patients diagnosed with a pre-hospital standard 12-lead ECG prior study start, the investigators hypothesize that introducing V7-V9 leads as a clinical routine in the pre-hospital setting will identify patients with STEMI involving LCX and with a non-diagnostic standard 12-lead ECG.
