Active clinical trials for "Myocardial Infarction"

The investigators are developing a test that is expected to measure the amount of radiation a patient has been exposed to after a nuclear bomb. The investigator will do this by measuring the DNA in the patients blood from cells killed by the radiation. Many diseases and medical conditions can put DNA in the blood. The investigator needs to know how much DNA in order to better interpret our radiation detection test. Therefore, the investigator is collecting blood from several patients with different diseases or medical conditions and also healthy volunteers to measure their DNA content. Patients that will be included in this study are pregnant women, patients who have suffered a pulmonary embolism within the past 48 hours, patients who have suffered from myocardial infarction in the past 48 hours, patients with autoimmune diseases and health patients.

To compare the efficacy of 2 different hydration strategies, hydration according to clinical guideline and adequate hydration, on contrast-induced nephropathy in patients with STEMI undergoing primary PCI to investigate the possible beneficial role of periprocedural adequate hydration.

Primary: To support the Regulatory Approval process of Metalyse® in Russian Federation. Secondary: To assess the efficacy and safety of single bolus of Metalyse® TNK-tissue plasminogen activator (TNK-tPA, Tenecteplase ) in patients with acute myocardial infarction in usual routine treatment after market launch

The investigators tried to determined whether the less D2B time led to costs savings benefited insurance payer and better outcomes to patients.

There is experimental evidence that low levels of adiponectin are associated with more reperfusion injury. In addition experimental studies have demonstrated that endothelial progenitor cells may have a favorable effect on remodeling, mainly through stimulation of neo-revascularisation. Clinical data on these issues are lacking. This clinical project studies the role of adiponectin, endothelial progenitor cells and endothelial microparticles in the ischaemia-reperfusion process and the compensatory ventricular remodelling in a population of 250 infarction patients treated with primary PCI. If the role of these factors could be confirmed in this clinical setting, those factors might represent a new target for therapeutic interventions in AMI patients.

The MYSTAR-5-YEAR study controls the patients 5 years after treatment with combined (intramyocardial and intracoronary) delivery of autologous BM-MNCs. The clinical endpoint of this prospective non-randomized observational study is the MACCE, defined as major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events. Patients will be investigated by echocardiography, SPECT and MRI. 2D (NOGA-guided SPECT) and 3D (NOGA-guided MRI) imaging will refine the evaluation with more exact analysis of the intramyocardial injected areas (ROI).

The objective of this protocol is to use established standard criteria and methods for the collection of hMSC (human mesenchymal stromal cells) from healthy bone marrow donors. The hMSC collected from the donors will use to develop well-defined and reproducible cell banks. Standard manufacturing procedures and quality control testing methods will be used to characterize and evaluate the final cell product. After the cell banks are created, these cell products will be used in future translational or clinical research.

The goal of this study is to use MCE (myocardial contrast/perfusion echocardiography) to study and compare short/long term change of myocardial perfusion abnormality and cardiac outcome in diabetic patients after nonfatal MI (heart attack), who are treated with different glucose control agents.

This is a simple registry of patients undergoing PCI at hospitals without surgery on-site who were participants in the CPORT-E project. The aim of the registry is simple data collection and reporting to respective State Departments of Health. The registry population consists of patients undergoing diagnostic cardiac catheterization for suspected CAD at hospitals without SOS and who require PCI.

The purpose of this study is to measure T-Wave Alternans (TWA) in patients with acute coronary syndrome. Researchers are blinded to clinical TWA measurements. The investigators will then try to determine if T-Wave alternans correlates with clinical outcome of patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome. During routine care of the patient, the T Wave Alternans is measured.
