NCT00856765
The investigators hypothesize that patients with Acute ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction may benefit from primary angioplasty with use of a drug eluting balloon/bare metal stent combination without impairing the process of normal vascular healing and endothelial function. The goals of this study are: 1. To compare 6-month angiographic outcome after primary angioplasty using drug eluting balloon/bare metal stent combination versus drug eluting stent versus bare metal stent. 2. To compare stent apposition and stent endothelialization after primary angioplasty using drug eluting balloon/bare metal stent versus drug eluting stent versus bare metal stent. 3. To compare coronary endothelial function after primary angioplasty using drug eluting balloon/bare metal stent versus drug eluting stent versus bare metal stent.

IBERICAN is a multicenter, longitudinal and observational population-based study of patients daily attended in Primary Care setting in Spain. This study is aimed to determine the prevalence and incidence of cardiovascular risk factors in adult population in Spain. Patients will be followed-up for a minimum period of 5 years, every 6 months or a lesser period when clinically required. It has been estimated that a total of 15,000 individuals will be included.

Epidemiological studies have shown that serum cholesterol level is correlated with Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) risk, and that Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) risk increases with increasing LDL cholesterol levels. Fortunately, it has been confirmed that cholesterol-lowering therapy is effective in preventing Cardiovascular Disease (CVD), and cholesterol lowering with statin therapy is a primary strategy in the prevention of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD). Despite the fact that statins reduce both LDL cholesterol and future cardiovascular outcome, the association of statin intensity and the achieved level of LDL cholesterol with cardiovascular outcome has not been fully elucidated, because statins have pleiotropic effect as well as LDL lowering effect. The effect of statin on future Cardiovascular (CV) outcome seems to be more associated with statin intensity relating pleiotropic effects rather than with achieved LDL cholesterol level, because LDL-lowering by inhibition of hepatic cholesterol synthesis is linked to reciprocal increment of cholesterol absorption from the intestine.
