About this study

Official title: Coronary Flow Velocity Reserve According to Glucometabolic State in Acute Myocardial Infarction; Relation to Ventricular Systolic and Diastolic Function

Diabetes mellitus is a major risk factor for the development of ischemic heart disease, and patients with diabetes mellitus have a worse outcome following an acute myocardial infarction than non-diabetic patients. Furthermore, abnormal glucose metabolism below the diagnostic threshold of diabetes mellitus is also associated with increased risk of death compared to patients with a normal glucose metabolism. The frequency of abnormal glucose metabolism in acute myocardial infarction is high, and approximately 70% of myocardial infarction patients have diabetes mellitus, newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus or impaired glucose tolerance, leaving only 30% with normal glucose metabolism. The increased mortality among patients with acute myocardial infarction and abnormal glucose metabolism seems mainly related to a higher occurrence of congestive heart failure, suggesting that an abnormal glucose metabolism may play an important role among others in endothelial dysfunction, infarct healing and overall left ventricle function. This raises the question, whether patients with acute myocardial infarction and abnormal glucose metabolism have increased frequency of micro- or macrovascular disease or both.

Coronary flow velocity reserve reflects the patency of the epicardial coronary artery in combination with vasodilator capacity of the microcirculation and may therefore offer a tool for assessment of macro- and microcirculation.

This study will focus on the relation between coronary flow velocity reserve estimated by transthoracal Doppler echocardiography and mortality, risk for heart failure and left ventricle function after acute myocardial infarction stratified according to glycometabolic state

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Myocardial Infarction and Diabetes Mellitus, run by Medicinsk Forsknings Afdeling at 1 site in Denmark.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Feb 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Denmark. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00845468, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Feb 2009.
