About this study

Official title: The First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University.

Clinical studies found that poor ST-segment resolution (STR) in electrocardiogram (ECG) occurred in major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), arrhythmia and heart failure was significantly higher . In clinical work, in patients have poor ST-segment decline, the investigators found by CMR-LGE the corresponding myocardium become thinner and other signs of myocardial scar.

The investigators aimed to establish whether poor ST-segment resolution in ECG, as well as CMR-LGE, could detect the presence of myocardial scar in early STEMI patients. In order to provide convenient, cheap and widely used test method for patients who cannot tolerate CMR-LGE.

42 STEMI patients with single-branch coronary artery stenosis or occlusion were enrolled. ST-segment elevations were measured on the baseline and 24 hours after PCI. The study population was divided into two groups by late gadolinium enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance (LGE- CMR), with transmural myocardial scar (>75%) or non-transmural myocardial scar (<75%).

What participants receive

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

  • ST-segment resolution <40.15%Diagnostic test

    Forty-two STEMI patients with single-branch coronary artery stenosis or occlusion were enrolled. ST-segment elevations were measured at emergency admission and at 24 h after PCI. Late gadolinium-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR-LGE) was performed 7 days after PCI to evaluate myocardial scars.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. ST-segment resolution<40.15%

    CMR-LGE was performed to evaluate myocardial scars.

    Measured: 1) Emergency admission: ST-segment elevations were measured. 2) 24 hours after PCI: ST-segment elevations were measured. 3) 7 days after PCI: CMR-LGE was performed.

  2. ST-segment resolution>40.15%

    CMR-LGE was performed to evaluate myocardial scars.

    Measured: 1) Emergency admission: ST-segment elevations were measured. 2) 24 hours after PCI: ST-segment elevations were measured. 3) 7 days after PCI: CMR-LGE was performed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiovascular Diseases, run by Chongqing Medical University at 1 site in China.

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 2 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 14 Oct 2020. 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 China. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

ST-segment resolution<40.15% (time frame: 1) Emergency admission: ST-segment elevations were measured. 2) 24 hours after PCI: ST-segment elevations were measured. 3) 7 days after PCI: CMR-LGE was performed.). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 14 Oct 2020.
