Active clinical trials for "ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction"

The aim of this prospective follow-up study is to investigate 5-year clinical outcome in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction undergoing remote ischemic conditioning before primary percutaneous coronary intervention.

This is a retrospective, randomized, parallel, open-labeled, controlled study to find out whether STEMI patients undergoing emergency PCI can benefit from intensive atorvastatin treatment compared with routine treatment.

This is a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled study of intracoronary cocktail injection combined with thrombus aspiration versus thrombus aspiration alone in ST-elevation myocardial infarction patients treated with primary angioplasty.

The purpose of this study is to determine outcomes (death, myocardial infarction, target vessel revascularization (TVR), non-target vessel revascularization (non-TVR), stent-thrombosis) of 120 consecutive patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction and multivessel coronary artery disease undergoing multivessel stenting or staged percutaneous coronary intervention with Zotarolimus-eluting stents

This study involves doing platelet function testing in patients who have undergone fibrinolysis. Fibrinolysis (Use of clot busting medicine in heart attack) is the standard of care to restore blood flow in blocked arteries as soon as possible after the "Heart attack" in rural health center where access to cardiac catheterization is one hour away. Fibrinolysis is done by the emergency room physician in a timely fashion to minimize the damage of the myocardium. Additionally anti-platelet regimen as adjuvant for patient undergoing fibrinolysis has been well studied in many trials. In this study investigators will use clopidogrel or ticagrelor in randomized fashion to evaluate anti- platelet effect by measuring efficacy in vivo (pharmacodynamics) and blood levels of both drugs (Pharmacokinetics).

Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) is the preferred reperfusion strategy for treating acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The main goals are to restore epicardial infarct-related artery patency and to achieve microvascular reperfusion as early as possible. No-reflow is the term used to describe inadequate myocardial perfusion of a given coronary segment without angiographic evidence of persistent mechanical obstruction of epicardial vessels and it refers to the high resistance of microvascular blood flow encountered during opening of the infarct-related coronary artery. Despite optimal evidence-based PPCI, myocardial no-reflow can still occur, negating many of the benefits of restoring culprit vessel patency, and is associated with a worse in-hospital and long-term prognosis. Several strategies have been tested to revert the no-reflow including the use of thrombectomy, glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors and the use of intracoronary adenosine, but none has been demonstrated to effectively counteract the phenomenon. The trial aims to show the effect of the administration of intracoronary adrenalin on myocardial reperfusion assessed by magnetic resonance in patients with STEMI undergoing PCI and with persistent coronary angiographic The Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) 0-1 flow during the interventional procedure after failure of standard therapy.

To evaluate whether nicorandil as an adjunctive therapy for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) reduces reperfusion injury.

This study compares patients bound for Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) who were transported by either ground ambulance or emergency medical helicopter. The investigators describe long-term follow-up in relation to mortality and labour affiliation.

This study evaluates the use of early mechanical circulatory support in patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock. Patients are treated according to the National Cardiogenic Shock Initiative protocol, which emphasizes early identification of cardiogenic shock and rapid delivery of mechanical circulatory support based on invasive hemodynamics. All patients treated in this manner are enrolled in the National Cardiogenic Shock registry.

Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) is the gold standard of treatment of ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).Slow flow / no-reflow phenomenon following PPCI in STEMI patients has been a serious and common complication that closely related to the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and affected patients' prognosis. No reflow is a multi-factorial phenomenon. And its preventive and therapeutic effects are not satisfactory. This prospective randomized controlled study aimed to compare favorable effects of Nitroprusside versus Tirofiban on the prevention of slow flow / no-reflow phenomenon during PPCI.
