About this study

Is to analyze the incidence and predictors of developing AF in patients with inferior infarction who undergo PCI with and without atrial and SN branches occlusion

Read the detailed description

Atrial fibrillation (AF) occurs in 5% to 18% of patient with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarctions (STEMIs) and 4.5% in patients with STEMI treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Diagnosis of AF in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients is important because it increases the risk of cardiovascular event and associated with increased in-hospital and long term rates . Atrial ischemia/infarction translates into P Q segment depression or elevation on the electrocardiogram and often associates with atrial tachyarrhythmias .

Side-branch obstruction is one of the adverse effects of PCI the location of the culprit vessel also affects the occurrence of AF in AMI Atrial arteries arise from the right coronary artery (RCA) and circumflex coronary artery (CX) and extend through the atrial myocardium to supply both chambers It is therefore conceivable that PCI of lesions located at the RCA and CX could lead to an accidental atrial branch occlusion .

Atrial myocardial ischemia secondary to atrial branches occlusion (ABO) might lead to mechanical atrial dysfunction, increased electrical vulnerability to atrial arrhythmias, and late structural remodeling .

The sino nodal (SN) artery originates from the proximal portion of the RCA in about 60% of humans Side branch occlusion of the SN artery occurring accidentally during PCI for proximal RCA lesions would provide an opportunity to produces SN dysfunction in humans. Uptill now , there have been no systematic studies concerning SN dysfunction caused by side-branch occlusion of the SN artery during PCI .

Left atrial volume seems to be a strong predictor of incident of AF , with increase in left atrial filling pressures, atrial stretch and enlargement of the chamber occur, leading to remodeling of the structure, physiologic properties, and electrical milieu of the left atrium, culminating in the development of AF

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • holter monitoringDevice

    Also called echocardiography

    Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE) Left atrial ( LA) volume will be measured using standard apical two- and four-chamber views on the frame just prior to mitral valve opening and as specified by current American Society of Echocardiography guidelines (10) LA volume is indexed to body surface area. Mitral inflow velocity is obtained in the apical four-chamber view by placing a pulsed-Doppler sample volume between the tips of the mitral leaflets. Mitral annular velocity is assessed during the early phase of diastole(e=) using pulsed-wave Doppler sampling of septal mitral annular motion from the four chamber view.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Atrial Fibrillation, run by Assiut University.

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 8 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 28 Feb 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Contact ahmed atef ahmed atef atef (01156930941, ahmed3242166@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

incidence of atrial fibrillation in inferior STEMI patients after primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (time frame: baseline). 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 28 Feb 2019.
