About this study

Official title: Ischemic Time and Extent of Myocardial Infarction With Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Image in Patients With STEMI and Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Study

This study will assess relationship between ischemic time and the extent of myocardial infarction with cardiac magnetic resonance image in patients with STEMI (ST elevation myocardial infarction) and primary percutaneous coronary intervention.

Read the detailed description

Background:

Cardiac magnetic resonance image (CMRI) is the preferred method of assessing myocardial infarct size and function. However,the relationship between CMRI changes and the ischemic time [symptom onset to device activation time (S2D)] in patients with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is not well understood.

Hypothesis:

The investigators will test the primary hypothesis that there is strong (at least 70%) direct correlation between the S2D time and infarct size by CMRI and inverse correlation with myocardial salvage.

Method:

The investigators will study a prospective cohort of 80 consecutive patients with STEMI and primary PCI. The investigators will perform CMRI at day 3 to 1 post STEMI and a repeat CMRI 30 to 40 days post STEMI.

Exclusion Criteria:

The investigators will exclude patients with 1)-culprit lesion in the distal artery, 2)-glomerular filtration rate (GFR) < 60 mL/min/1.73m2, 3)-pacemaker, defibrillator, aneurysm clips, 4)-body weight > 400lb, 5)-history of allergic reactions to gadlinium based contrast agents, and 6)-those unwilling to participate in the study protocol.

Outcome Measurement:

The primary outcome measure is the CMRI myocardial infarct size (scar). The secondary outcomes include the CMRI transmurality of scar, area at risk, myocardial salvage index, microvascular obstruction (MVO), left ventricle (LV) thrombus, and LV ejection fraction (EF). Important covariates include symptoms and ST segment resolution before and after the PCI, peak cardiac troponin (cTn), and angiographic TIMI flow and myocardial perfusion grade.

Follow-up:

Patients will be followed with repeat CMRI at 30 to 40 days and with phone survey at 6 months and 12 months.

Post STEMIThe study population will consist of adult patients with acute STEMI and primary PCI with clear identification of symptoms onset, willing to participate in the research protocol and not having any of the exclusion criteria.

Important covariates include symptoms and ST segment resolution before and after the PCI, peak cardiac troponin (cTn), and angiographic TIMI flow and myocardial perfusion grade.

    Measured: Patients will be followed with repeat CMRI at 30 to 40 days and with phone survey at 6 months and 12 months.

  4. CMRI microvascular obstruction (MVO)

    The secondary outcomes include the CMRI transmurality of scar, area at risk, myocardial salvage index, microvascular obstruction (MVO), left ventricle (LV) thrombus, and LV ejection fraction (EF). Important covariates include symptoms and ST segment resolution before and after the PCI, peak cardiac troponin (cTn), and angiographic TIMI flow and myocardial perfusion grade.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Myocardial Infarction, run by Medstar Health Research Institute at 1 site in United States.

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 1 inclusion and 7 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Apr 2013. 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 United States. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

CMRI myocardial infarct size (time frame: Patients will be followed with repeat CMRI at 30 to 40 days and with phone survey at 6 months and 12 months.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 23 Apr 2013.
