NCT02592135
The purpose of this study is to better understand myocardial injury in AHF. Secondary analyses demonstrate the prognostic significance of troponin release. The absence of such release has been associated with less risk. Whether measurement of high sensitivity TnT may enable emergency physicians to better risk stratify acute heart failure patients remains to be determined. This study will help us to better understand the prognostic value of absent or low hsTnT values in the emergency department setting. In addition, we will also test the STRATIFY decision rule; a risk score.
NCT00088179
During a heart bypass procedure, a substance called "complement" is activated by the body. This "complement activation" causes an inflammatory response that can lead to side affects such as chest pain, heart attacks, stroke, heart failure, or death. The purpose of this study is to find out if the study drug (pexelizumab), that blocks "complement activation," can reduce such side effects and be given safely to patients requiring the bypass procedure with the use of the heart-lung machine.
