Active clinical trials for "Myocardial Infarction"

The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of heart muscle viability on left ventricular (LV) remodeling after a heart attack; to explore the relationships between retained viability of the area of tissue death (infarct zone), LV remodeling, response to the Occluded Artery Trial (OAT) intervention, and response to late percutaneous coronary intervention of the infarct related artery (IRA).

In the first phase, to establish the relationship of progression of peripheral vascular disease (PVD) to plasma homocysteine. In the second phase, to conduct a randomized, controlled trial of folic acid treatment of plasma homocysteine in peripheral vascular disease.

To determine if intermittent ST depression (STD) had an independent impact on survival among myocardial infarction patients who participated in the Beta-Blocker Heart Attack Trial (BHAT).

The purpose of the study is to examine ways in which a clinical information system can help patients better recognize the signs and symptoms of an acute myocardial infarction (heart attack) and to take actions to decrease morbidity and mortality that may be related to delay in seeking treatment. The software-based intervention will use the best scientific evidence to create tailored strategies using a patient's specific health data. This approach is based on well-established cognitive and behavioral educational models.

To continue surveillance of coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality and morbidity in the seven county metropolitan Minneapolis/St. Paul (Twin Cities) areas.

To examine whether the association between selected hypertensive genes and combined fatal coronary heart disease and nonfatal myocardial infarction in high-risk hypertensives is modified by the type of antihypertensive treatment, leading to differential risks of coronary heart disease.

To conduct surveillance of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality and its correlation with known risk factors in all cohort study groups in Evans County, Georgia.

To evaluate whether the use of noncontraceptive estrogen influenced the incidence of first myocardial infarction in women.

To determine the clinical course of coronary artery disease among Blacks receiving medical care for symptomatic heart diseases.

To determine the role played by insulin and biogenic amines in obesity-related hypertension and cardiovascular disease.
