Active clinical trials for "Myocardial Infarction"

Intracoronary bolus Abciximab single is non-inferior to intravenous and continuous 12- hours infusion in the size reduction of infarction on cardiac magnetic resonance in Non-ST elevation Myocardial infarction.

It has been shown that if it can be accomplished within a 90 minute "door to balloon" time, opening an artery in an acute heart attack situation (ST elevation myocardial infarction or STEMI) is best treated with balloon angioplasty and stenting (percutaneous coronary intervention or PCI). In these situations, there may be narrowings other than the one causing the heart attack (culprit) and studies have shown that delaying treatment of other narrowings for follow-up procedure is better than intervening at the time of the acute MI.

Few reports described outcomes of complete compared with infarct related artery (IRA) only revascularization in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and multivessel coronary disease (CAD). The purpose of this study is to determine outcome (death, myocardial infarction, target vessel failure) of 180 consecutive patients with STEMI and multivessel CAD undergoing primary angioplasty. Before the first angioplasty patients are randomized to 2 different strategies: 1) culprit vessel angioplasty only, 2) staged revascularization.

The administration of high dose HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (Statins) to patients with acute ST-elevation MI (hypoxia/ischemia) who are treated with primary PCI (reoxygenation/ reperfusion) will protect their cardiomyocytes from death and thus preserve LV ejection fraction.

The purpose of this study is to determine the incidence of contrast induced nephropathy and myocardial tissue reperfusion following iso-osmolar iodixanol or ipo-osmolar iopromide administration in patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing primary PCI.

This study injects a person's own stem cells into heart muscle tissue after a person has one or more heart attacks. The purpose of the study is whether the stem cells will improve a patient's heart performance.

The study is designed to determine whether vorapaxar, when added to the existing standard of care (SOC) for preventing heart attack and stroke (eg, aspirin, clopidogrel) in participants with a known history of atherosclerosis, will yield additional benefit over the existing standard of care without vorapaxar in preventing heart attack and stroke. The study is also designed to assess risk of bleeding with vorapaxar added to the standard of care versus the standard of care alone.

Treating an AMI patient with ST elevation with Aggrastat in the ambulance on his or her way to the hospital.

To determine whether the addition of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor to standard therapy in patients with known coronary artery disease and preserved left ventricular function will prevent cardiovascular mortality and reduce the risk of myocardial infarction.

The aim of the study is to evaluate whether providing a targeted heart health education campaign to regions at high risk of heart attacks will improve ACS patient's symptom recognition and response. The intervention will be will be evaluated according to a cluster randomized, stepped wedged design. The clusters are eight local government areas (LGAs) in Victoria, Australia. The main primary outcome will be assessed in consecutive patients presenting to emergency departments from the six LGAs throughout the study period with an ED diagnoses of acute coronary syndrome.
