Active clinical trials for "Myocardial Infarction"

Effect of upstream treatment with high intensity statin on the outcome of ST segment elevation myocardial infarction patients treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention

To elucidate the efficacy and safety of weixin decoction in the treatment of heart failure after myocardial infarction.

AMUNDSEN-real is a phase IV, international (7 European countries), multicenter, controlled, open label study randomized, in 2 parallel groups of patients with a diagnosis of STEMI or NSTEMI with an indication for PCI, using the PROBE study design (Prospective Randomised Open, Blinded Endpoint). The objective of this study is to demonstrate the superiority of evolocumab versus standard of care in reaching a LDL-C reduction of ≥ 50% from baseline and a LDL-C goal of <1.4 mmol/L (<55 mg/dL) at 12 months follow-up on the overall population. Central randomization uses an IWRS. Stratification is by center and stratum with random block size, generated according to the procedures of the sponsor, by a statistician not involved in the study.

Cardiovascular diseases are a leading cause of death worldwide. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cardiovascular diseases constitute 1/3 of all causes of death. Myocardial infarction (MI) is an irreversible myocardial necrosis due to prolonged ischemia. Patients with MI are candidates for cardiac rehabilitation (CR). American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines recommend exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation and suggest exercise to add to patients' routine treatment. When the literature on patients with MI is examined, various exercise programs are seen. The aims of present study is investigating and comparing the effectiveness of intermittent exercise training and aerobic exercise training programs in patients with MI.

The CLIMATE Observational Study examines to what extent chronically ill patients experience adverse health effects because of heat and whether the patients' specific efforts, somatosensory amplification, self-efficacy, health literacy and commitment to the GP, degree of urbanisation of the patients' administration district and characteristics of the patients' neighborhood are associated with these effects.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bivalirudin in AMI patients with DES. This is a prospective, randomized, single-blind, active drug controlled multicenter clinical research and the study would enrolled a total of 380 AMI patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to one of two antithrombotic regimens: bivalirudin alone, or unfractionated heparin alone. All enrolled patients would be followed-up to 30 days.

Percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) has become the first choice for STEMI patients.According to the current guidelines,dual antiplatelet therapy with a P2Y12 receptor inhibitor and aspirin ,and intravenous injection of morphine therapy for chest pain relief in necessity play a pivotal role in the treatment of patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction before primary percutaneous coronary intervention.And ticagrelor is recommended in patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction undergoing PCI, with class IB indication.Therefore coadministration of morphine and ticagrelor are commonplace.Currently, some studies have found that morphine delayed and attenuated exposure to ticagrelor,but it is not clear of the pathogenesis of it.Some researchers say that morphine results in a weaker and retarded antiplatelet effect of ticagrelor in STEMI patients before PCI by inhibition of gastrointestinal peristalsis and causing vomiting.The study is aimed at exploring whether morphine delay and attenuate exposure to ticagrelor and its antiplatelet effect.In addition, the trial will explore the possible mechanism which morphne delay and attenuate exposure to ticagrelor in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction before PCI.

LEADERS-FREE trial demonstrated the safety and efficacy of polymer-free drug-coated stent (Biofreedom, Biosensors International Technologies, Singapore) in patients with high bleeding risk. But, there are limited clinical evidences for extending these findings to generalized patients who are eligible to PCI. Therefore, the purpose of this registry is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Biofreedom stent in patients with coronary artery disease.

To compare early and late clinical outcomes with everolimus-eluting cobalt-chromium stent in patients with ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction, as well as identify the characteristics and efficacy of CoCr-EES. Also, OCT sub-analysis will be conducted

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 5mg maintenance dose (MD) of prasugrel in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with BiomatrixTM stent.
