Active clinical trials for "Infarction"

The aim of the Naples PCI registry is to collect prospective data on baseline clinical, laboratory, and angiographic characteristics of patients undergoing PCI for acute or chronic coronary artery disease. All patients receive clinical follow-up at hospital discharge and at 1-year follow-up with the objective to assess clinical outcomes, including death, cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, stent thrombosis, target-lesion and target-vessel revascularization, contrast-induced acute kidney injury, and bleeding events.

In a prospective, quantitative explorative study, the risk of aspiration and penetration when swallowing solid pills (placebo) compared to a crushed placebo pill will be evaluated during a routine Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES). The study design is thus a quasi-experimental study design with repeated measurements in the sense of a pre-posttest. Each patient undergoes a baseline examination (routine procedure) followed by the intervention (administration of three different solid pills and a crushed pill).

This study requires the consecutive enrollment of 60 patients following the first event of acute myocardial infarction, evaluating B-Cell Activating Factor (BAFF) and methylglyoxal (MGO) levels in the acute setting (pre-reperfusion) and 3 months after reperfusion.

In this study we pretend to determine the molecular (miRNAs expression, angiogenic and inflammatory biomarkers) and microcirculatory (assessed by the innovative continuous intracoronary thermodilution technique) effects of PiCSO compared to a standard PCI control group in patients with high-risk anterior STEMI. Then, we aim to assess the efficacy of these molecular biomarkers as prognostic tools. Also, we will evaluate the impact of PiCSO on the coronary microcirculation beyond the acute phase in the follow-up six months after STEMI. Finally, we will assess PiCSO influence on Heart Failure (HF) clinical variables and patients' quality of life including a cost-effectiveness assessment in the mid-term follow-up one year after the STEMI event.

The benefits of cardiac rehabilitation include improving exercise tolerance and quality of life. However the attending rate of the patients with acute myocardial infarction was low according to the previous studies. This is a retrospective chart review study collecting the basic characteristics of the patients diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction of Wang-Fang Hospital (from Jan 1, 2012 to June 30, 2021). The aims of the studies are to investigate the related issues of cardiac rehabilitation including (1) attending rate (2) the efficacy of exercise training (3) the factors that limit the participation of the training programs.

The primary objective is to explore if HRS8179 could improve midline shift at 72 hours (or at time of decompressive craniectomy or comfort measures only, if earlier) in participants with large hemispheric infarction. The secondary objective is to explore if HRS8179 could improve acute neurologic status, functional outcomes, treatment requirements and safety.

The hypothesis of this study is that consciously sedated patients suffering from ST-elevation myocardial infarction can be rapidly and safely cooled to a state of therapeutic hypothermia (32 to 34 degrees C) using the LRS ThermoSuit System prior to percutaneous coronary intervention.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation applied with an electromagnetic therapy stimulator 'ALTMS-A' for upper-limb motor function recovery with the sham control group for those who need upper-limb rehabilitation treatment for subcortical and brainstem stroke

Emergent reperfusion is the main goal for acute ischemic stroke therapy (AIS). Endovascular therapy (EVT) is recommended within 6 hrs of stroke onset, and up to 24 hrs following perfusion imaging criteria. Despite the major benefit associated with MT, more than 50% of the patients remain disabled at 3 months. Reperfusion rates after MT are critical to determine functional outcome. However, complete reperfusion is obtained in only 50 % of the patients, due to, at least in part, erratic emboli and/or no-reflow processes. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of glenzocimab in addition to EVT and compared to EVT plus placebo, whether or not associated with ntravenous thrombolysis (IVT), on functional outcome at day 90.

Early treatment of Myocardial Infarction patients with mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist with help reduces the incidence of cardiac remodeling and development into heart failure. Also studying aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2) and mineralocorticoid receptor (NR3C2) gene polymorphisms in Egyptian Myocardial Infarction patients will help tailor medication therapy and optimize therapeutic effects with the least adverse effects.
