Detailed Study Description
Purpose:
There is strong evidence that patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy have high cardiovascular mortality, including high risk of sudden cardiac death. Sleep apnea is frequently present in patients after myocardial infarction/with ischemic cardiomyopathy
Low-dose aspirin (ASA) (at least 30 mg/day) prevents only 13% of subsequent vascular events after minor cerebral ischemia of arterial origin. Anticoagulation (AC) has been proven highly effective in preventing vascular events after myocardial infarction and after cerebral ischemia in patients with
Background and study rationale:
Sacubitril/Valsartan (SAC/VAL) is now approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and also, recently indicated as class I indication, level of evidence B in the European Society of Cardiology (ESC)
Background: Chest pain is a key symptom of acute coronary syndrome (ACS), but can also represent other cardiac and non-cardiac diseases. Rapid identification of ACS in terms of 'rule-in' or 'rule-out' is essential in order to minimize treatment delay and time to discharge. In the absence of
Gathered data:
- descriptive general demographic data;
- previous pathologies (ischemic heart disease, peripheral arterial disease, stroke, heart failure, previous percutaneous coronary interventions, coronary artery bypass grafting - CABG, known renal disease), cardiovascular risk factors (age,
The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate that among subjects undergoing primary PCI for anterior STEMI treated with a bivalirudin monotherapy anticoagulation strategy, the intracoronary infusion of an abciximab bolus with or without thrombus aspiration prior to stent implantation,
Details of SWEDEHEART and data validation have been described previously. Cases of acute myocardial infarction were defined as STEMI and NSTEMI according to the current European Society of Cardiology, American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association guidelines and determined at local
Study objectives:
1. Compare the efficacy and safety of prasugrel and ticagrelor in acute myocardial infarction treated with emergent PCI.
2. Assess the safety of switching to clopidogrel after remission of the acute phase of MI in patients for whom economic barriers do not allow to continue
Despite the outstanding progress made in cardiac care over the last few years, cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in developed countries.
After the initial clinical event, patients are considered to have a chronic disease which combined with the increasing
The CCS is an endovascular thermal control system that circulates cooled saline through an indwelling central venous catheter in a closed-loop manner. The system has received 510(k) approval from the FDA for use in temperature management in neuro-surgical and cardiac patients during surgery and in
Consecutive patients with acute STEMI within 12 hours of the symptoms' onset and candidates for PPCI will be screened for inclusion in the study. Eligible patients who require analgesia for the relief of acute chest pain, defined as Visual Analogue Scale ≥3, will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio into
This study is an open label, single-centre, randomized investigation of sonothrombolysis in 60 adult patients presenting with STEMI within 6 hours of the onset of clinical symptoms and receiving perfusion therapy with fibrinolysis as part of a pharmacoinvasive strategy.
Patients will be randomized
