Active clinical trials for "Infarction"

For patients with anterior ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), whether early application of proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors to rapidly reduce low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) before PCI could effectively inhibit left ventricular remodeling has been rarely reported. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of early application of PCSK9 inhibitors Evolocumab to rapidly reduce LDL-C levels before primary PCI treatment on left ventricular remodeling in STEMI patients. Eligible patients were randomly randomized 1:1:1 to one of the following three groups immediately after enrollment: (1) Intensive statin group: rosuvastatin 20 mg per day, in addition to usual therapy; (2) Combined intensive statin and PCSK9 inhibitor group: rosuvastatin 20 mg per day and subcutaneous injection of evolocumab 140 mg twice a month, for at least 3 months, and preferably 6 months; (3) PCSK9 inhibitor alone group: subcutaneous injection of evolocumab 140 mg, twice a month for at least 3 months and preferably 6 months.

This is a prospective, multi-center, single-arm, open-label, First in Human clinical trial to provide preliminary evidence for the safety and efficacy of the novel IoNIR stent system.

During the outbreak of COVID-19, for patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction with unclear infection, the time of primary PCI is uncertain, and it is often expected to exceed 90 minutes or even 120 minutes. In indicated patients, intravenous thrombolysis has significantly improved the recanalization time of criminal vessels.

GNR-060(JSC "GENERIUM", Russia) is a proposed biosimilar to the referent product Metalyse. This study is to compare the clinical efficacy and safety of GNR-060 vs Metalyse as a thrombolitic agent in patients with with ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI).

East Asian patients will be required optimal dose of newer P2Y12 inhibitor (ticagrelor) to determine the safer treatment and better outcome. Whether low dose of ticagrelorI is more adequate for clinical practice in Korea is unclear. Therefore, the investigators aim to evaluate efficacy and safety of low dose of ticagrelor in Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI).

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of early treatment with evolocumab plus routine lipid management vs routine lipid management alone when administered in the acute setting to reduce myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, arterial revascularization, and all-cause death in subjects hospitalized for an acute myocardial infarction (non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction [NSTEMI] and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction [STEMI]).

Myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) accounts for 15% of all myocardial infarctions and its mortality rate approaches that of large vessel myocardial infarction, but there are currently no effective treatment options. Coronary microvascular dysfunction is an important mechanism of MINOCA and is closely related to adverse cardiovascular outcomes. The prospective trial aimed to verify the safety and effectiveness of cardiac shock wave therapy (CSWT) in the treatment of Myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA), and to expand the scope of clinical indications for CSWT and provide new treatment strategy for MINOCA.

Multicenter randomized double blind trial comparing intravenous cangrelor and oral ticagrelor in patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by initial cardiogenic shock and treated with primary angioplasty.

This study evaluates whether achieving 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH] Vit D) levels (>40 ng/mL) among myocardial infarction patients will result in a reduction of cardiovascular-related adverse events. Half of the patients will be randomized to receive standard of care and half will receive clinical management of 25[OH] Vit D levels.

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate whether using the the IMPELLA® CP System temporary circulatory assist device for 30 minutes prior to a catheterization procedure has the potential to reduce the damage to the heart caused by a heart attack, compared to the current standard of care.
