Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS), which includes myocardial infarction, are at high risk of recurrent ischaemic events (e.g. heart attacks), and death. The current standard treatment includes high dose statins to lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), also known as bad

The FARAD MI will be a randomized, multicenter prospective study will be conducted. Patients with the diagnosis of ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction treated at the Sancta Maggiore Emergency Departments who have been thrombolyzed and aged up to 80 years will be included. After

ARTEMIS is a prospective, cluster-randomized clinical trial that will evaluate whether patient copayment elimination significantly influences antiplatelet therapy selection and long-term adherence, as well as patient outcomes and overall cost of care after acute myocardial infarction. Approximately

120 post MI patients on CCU will be studied during the first week of admission. Patients will be categorised using the following criteria: Infarct size and site; PMH; Co-morbidities; Drugs; Regular caffeine ingestion. Patients will be randomised to receive either caffeinated or de-caffeinated coffee

Observational, prospective, real-world clinical practice, multicentric study, conducted at 12 Emergency Departments in Italy. Patients with suspected non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) who have undergone at least one high-sensitivity cardiac troponin test will be included. Patients will

This is a prospective, open-label, single center registry. The study is designed to characterize plaque (i.e., assess vulnerable plaque features such as plaque tears, plaque thickness, plaque volume, and lipid content in plaque) in heart arteries in patients who have suffered a recent acute heart

Most existing cardiac rehabilitation programs have little ability to expand participation using traditional delivery models that emphasize supervised, facility-based programs. Furthermore, facility-based programs to promote physical activity behavior in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD)

The data analyzed in this study will be obtained from hyperglycemic STEMI patients who underwent primary PCI at the Department of Cardiology of the Cardarelli Hospital in Naples Italy between June 1, 2016, and December 1, 2017. This will be a prospective study to compare two therapeutic strategies:

This trial consists of two arms. One arm is a non pre-treatment arm. Participants in this arm will receive placebo immediately after NSTEMI diagnosis and prior to the diagnostic coronary angiography. A 60 mg prasugrel loading dose will be given immediately after coronary angiography when proceeding

Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) is the preferred reperfusion strategy for patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Additional anticoagulation therapy prior or during intervention plays an important role in the short- and long-term outcomes after PPCI.
