Active clinical trials for "ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction"

In a prospective, randomized clinical trial the iPOST2 trial will determine whether ischemic postconditioning reduces reperfusion injury and this will translate into improved clinical outcome of heart failure and death for STEMI patients who present with TIMI0-1 undergoing primary PCI

It is planned to include 200 patients hospitalized with primary myocardial infarction with and without ST segment elevation (STEMI or NSTEMI) in combination with COVID-19 within the first 15 days from the disease onset. The total follow-up period is 96 weeks. Hypotheses: An integrated approach in assessing myocardial contractility, regulation of the heart and the structural and functional state of arteries will make it possible to more accurately assess the heart pumping function; explain the mechanisms of the relationship between left ventricular (LV) contractile function and its volumetric indices; to study the mechanisms of ventriculo-arterial coupling and the influence of autonomic regulation, the role of markers of the sudden cardiac death (late ventricular potentials, pathological turbulence of the heart rate, dispersion of the QT interval). In patients who have had myocardial infarction in combination with the new coronavirus infection SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), long-term highly effective lipid-lowering therapy, regardless of the drugs prescribed, has an antiarrhythmic effect and has a beneficial effect on the autonomic regulation of the heart rate. Highly effective lipid-lowering therapy leads to an improvement in LV contractility and structural and functional properties of the large arteries.

This study will assess the safety and feasibility of sonothrombolysis in the acute management of STEMI undergoing reperfusion therapy with systemic fibrinolysis as part of a pharmacoinvasive approach

STEMI patients with multivessel disease will be randomized to complete PCI versus PCI driven by high risk criteria of plaques evaluated with OCT

The primary objective of the trial is to evaluate the efficacy of early invasive strategy for STEMI patients within 24-48h of symptom onset.

The main objective is to compare the effect of a single injection of two doses of rituximab versus placebo on 6 months left ventricular systolic function, using CMR, in patients who have had an acute anterior STEMI. The primary endpoint is the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) by CMR at 6 months.

GNR-060(JSC "GENERIUM", Russia) is a proposed biosimilar to the referent product Metalyse. This study is to compare the clinical efficacy and safety of GNR-060 vs Metalyse as a thrombolitic agent in patients with with ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI).

For patients with anterior ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), whether early application of proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors to rapidly reduce low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) before PCI could effectively inhibit left ventricular remodeling has been rarely reported. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of early application of PCSK9 inhibitors Evolocumab to rapidly reduce LDL-C levels before primary PCI treatment on left ventricular remodeling in STEMI patients. Eligible patients were randomly randomized 1:1:1 to one of the following three groups immediately after enrollment: (1) Intensive statin group: rosuvastatin 20 mg per day, in addition to usual therapy; (2) Combined intensive statin and PCSK9 inhibitor group: rosuvastatin 20 mg per day and subcutaneous injection of evolocumab 140 mg twice a month, for at least 3 months, and preferably 6 months; (3) PCSK9 inhibitor alone group: subcutaneous injection of evolocumab 140 mg, twice a month for at least 3 months and preferably 6 months.

Acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has a high disability mortality rate, and timely reperfusion treatment can significantly reduce the mortality of patients. Emergency PCI is the preferred strategy for STEMI treatment recommended by domestic and international guidelines. The long-term existence of stents can never completely avoid the formation of thrombosis in the stents and affect the relaxation and contraction of criminal blood vessels. Drug coated balloon provides a new concept and technology of interventional therapy for coronary artery disease in the form of "intervention without implantation". Through balloon dilation of local blood vessels to release anti proliferative drugs to coronary artery wall and inhibit intimal hyperplasia, it can not only treat serious coronary artery disease, improve coronary blood supply and vascular function, but also not leave permanent implants in the blood vessels; The main pathogenesis of STEMI is thrombosis based on the rupture or erosion of coronary atheromatous plaque. In terms of pathophysiological mechanism, drug coated balloons are also suitable for STEMI patients without obvious thrombosis or severe dissection after full pretreatment. The two-dimensional lumen images obtained by traditional coronary angiography can not directly reflect the vessel wall, so we can not evaluate the actual size of the vessel, plaque characteristics and the effect of intervention through coronary angiography; Optical coherence tomography (OCT) uses near-infrared scanning to produce high-resolution tissue microscopic images with a resolution of up to 10 μ m. It can clearly observe the three-layer structure of coronary artery, find abnormal intima structure, and more clearly identify thrombosis, dissection, plaque erosion or collapse in coronary artery, providing more valuable information for optimizing interventional treatment. Therefore, the application of drug coated balloon under the guidance of OCT in STEMI can provide a more accurate and optimized diagnosis and treatment scheme for STEMI patients.
