Active clinical trials for "Myocardial Infarction"

Cardiovascular disease has always been one of the most concerning ailments of all times considering mortality. On one end due to the emergence of pharmaceutical technology, there is a reduction in mortality, on the other hand owing to a sedentary lifestyle the incidence of this disease is increasing. Hence leading to up slopping trend in cardiovascular prevalence. Acute coronary syndrome is one of the most deadly and acute presentations of cardiology requiring immediate intervention to dampen the frequency of complications. One of the fundamental goals in the treatment of ACS is to lower the heart rate so that load on myocardial tissue can be reduced. In order to do so, we already have multiple options like beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, and new generation ivabradine (not affecting blood pressure unlike others).

Studies have demonstrated that the early initiation of ACEI/ARB to patients with acute myocardial infarction is beneficial, especially in patients combined with reduced LVEF or mild-moderate heart failure. Therefore, ACEI/ARB is a traditional treatment for patients post-infarction. Recent clinical trials have demonstrated that Sacubitril/Valsartan is more beneficial than Ramipril to patients post-PCI.Besides, Sacubitril/Valsartan is also effective for essential hypertension.This study aims to assess the effect of Sacubitril/Valsartan on short-term prognosis in hypertensive patients with acute myocardial infarction compared against Valsartan.

This study is a randomized, controlled clinical trial. Evaluation of microcirculation resistance by index of microcirculation resistance to explore the protective effect of Shexiang Tongxin dripping pills on microcirculation in patients with acute anterior myocardial infarction.

NP202 is an experimental drug being developed by Armaron Bio Pty Ltd for potential use as a treatment for people after they have had a heart attack (MI).

The investigators planned to evaluate the effects of liraglutide on no-reflow in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

The fascinating role of lymphocyte subtypes in the development of coronary artery disease may be a new strategic target for understanding and therapy of acute myocardial infarction. The determinants of cell viability are unknown, postulating that they arise from factors not only related to microcirculation or energy expenditure, but also to inflammatory and immune responses. Furthermore, the intense mobilization of progenitor cells secondary to myocardial infarction triggers large lymphocyte proliferation that colonizes plaques in development, contributing to recurrent ischemic outcomes. This project aims to evaluate the immune and metabolic mechanisms involved in the recovery of the ischemic myocardium and coronary disease progression.

Reperfusion therapy in acute myocardial infarction saves viable myocardium, but paradoxically reestablishment of coronary artery flow also induces damage and cell death, decreasing the full benefit of reperfusion in terms of reduction of infarct size and preservation of ventricular function . Myocardial reperfusion can in itself produce more damage and cell death, this process defines the phenomenon of reperfusion injury, which could be prevented by applying additional therapies.

The Bifurcation ABSORB OCT Trial is a prospective, randomized (1:1) evaluation of the efficacy and performance of single ABSORB everolimus eluting bioresorbable vascular scaffold provisional strategy in the treatment of (a) coronary bifurcation lesion(s) in consecutive subjects with and without fenestration towards the side branch. Patients included in this study will be divided into three different cohorts: Cohort A (patient 1-20): Angiographic FU with OCT at 12 months. Cohort B (patient 21-40): Angiographic FU with OCT at 24 months. Cohort C (patient 41-60): Angiographic FU with OCT at 36 months. All patients will also have telephone FU at 30 days, 12, 24 and 36 months. Inclusion of patients in the BISORB OCT trial stopped in November 2016 after safety concerns of the ABSORB BVS were reported. BISORB OCT included 3 patients, which were all included in the Academic Medical Center

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and clinical efficacy of VM202RY injected via transendocardial route using C-Cathez® catheter (Celyad, S.A., Belgium) in subjects with AMI. Stage 1: Evaluation of safety and tolerability of VM202RY injection Stage 2: Evaluation of safety and efficacy of VM202RY injection

This study will compare clinical outcomes of immediate stent implantation with deferred stent implantation(4-10days after primary angiography) for patients presented with acute myocardial infarction due to left main coronary artery occlusion.
