NCT06710184
The main goal of this study is to compare two treatments in patients with a specific type of heart attack called Non-ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI). The investigators want to find out whether using aspirin alone is as effective and safer than using aspirin together with a second blood thinner called fondaparinux. Both treatments will be given before a scheduled heart procedure called coronary angiography (CAG), which may include balloon dilation and stent placement (PCI) if needed. The current guidelines recommend using aspirin in combination with a second blood thinner like fondaparinux before CAG and possible PCI. However, these recommendations are based on studies from the 1990s, a time when invasive procedures were not standard practice for these patients. In contrast, nearly all patients with NSTEMI in Denmark (96%) now undergo CAG within 72 hours. This change in practice raises questions about whether the older studies still provide a valid foundation for today's guidelines. The study aims to answer two questions: 1. Is aspirin alone as effective as aspirin combined with fondaparinux before early CAG and possible PCI? 2. Is aspirin alone safer, with a lower risk of severe bleeding, compared to the combination treatment? To answer these questions, the investigators will enroll about 5,000 patients with NSTEMI. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either aspirin alone or aspirin with fondaparinux. The investigators will monitor them for 30 days to compare outcomes such as death, new heart attacks, the need for urgent CAG before the scheduled, and severe bleeding.

NCT07470814
Acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock (AMI-CS) represents the most life-threatening subtype of acute cardiovascular diseases. Current clinical management of AMI-CS in China is plagued by multiple structural challenges, including a rapidly aging patient population, inequitable distribution of medical resources, the absence of standardized care models, and poor applicability of international risk stratification tools. Owing to ethnic disparities in disease presentation and the low penetration of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices in China, international clinical evidence for AMI-CS diagnosis and treatment cannot be directly translated into local clinical practice. Furthermore, the lack of a standardized multidisciplinary collaborative care system has become a critical bottleneck hindering the reduction of AMI-CS mortality. To address these unmet clinical needs, this study aims to develop a tailored multidisciplinary collaborative care system adapted to China's healthcare landscape and to evaluate its clinical efficacy and safety via a prospective multicenter registry study. The study will establish a tiered collaborative network encompassing healthcare institutions of all levels and formulate standardized clinical pathways and risk stratification strategies for AMI-CS. A total of at least 1,000 AMI-CS patients will be enrolled in the study, with systematic collection of their clinical characteristics, multidisciplinary interventions, MCS utilization, and prognostic outcomes to build a high-quality real-world database. Based on the registry data, a China-specific risk stratification model for AMI-CS will be developed by integrating clinical metrics, biomarkers, and imaging features. This study will assess the benefits and risks of MCS devices used alone or in combination, and evaluate the implementation effectiveness of the multidisciplinary collaborative care system by comparing core outcomes-including 30/180-day all-cause mortality, severe complication rates, and door-to-balloon times-before and after the system's rollout and across healthcare institutions of different tiers. Additionally, this study will explore the key factors influencing the efficacy of multidisciplinary collaboration to inform the optimization of the care system. This study is expected to validate the feasibility and effectiveness of the multidisciplinary collaborative care system in the Chinese clinical setting, reduce AMI-CS mortality, narrow the gap in care capacity across different-tier hospitals, and fill the evidence gap in multidisciplinary AMI-CS management for the Chinese population.
NCT07163988
TROP-MI-STAGE is a multicenter retrospective diagnostic study designed to evaluate the role of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) in the diagnosis and clinical stage classification of acute myocardial infarction as defined by the stages of myocardial injury in CCS-AMI classification. The study retrospectively analyzes biomarker data from patients diagnosed with AMI across multiple institutions, focusing on whether hs-cTnI levels-measured at specific time points-can reliably identify and stratify patients into AMI clinical stages (Stage 1 to Stage 4). It aims to correlate hs-cTnI kinetics and peak levels with clinical stage, presentation patterns, and outcomes. This trial seeks to offer a biomarker-based alternative to imaging-heavy staging, potentially streamlining early diagnosis and therapeutic triage for AMI patients in varied clinical settings.

NCT06788275
Endothelial dysfunction is one of the aetiological factors in ischaemic heart disease (IHD). Aerobic exercise is effective in improving endothelial function, as measured by flow-mediated dilation (FMD), in patients with IHD. Within the aerobic exercise methods, there is evidence showing that high-intensity interval training (HIIT) increases FMD to a greater extent than moderate-intensity training (MIT) in these patients. Notably, in a recent review, our research group found that only studies performing long bouts of HIIT (long HIIT: higher than 1 min) found a greater effect on FMD, while no differences were found in those studies using short bouts of HIIT (short HIIT: ≤ 1 min) and MIT. However, no experimental studies comparing the effect of long HIIT, short HIIT, and MIT on endothelial function, as well as other predictors of mortality, such as cardiorespiratory fitness, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels or parasympathetic branch activity, have been performed. Therefore, the main objective of this project will be to compare the effect of the three aerobic exercise methods on endothelial function, as measured by FMD, in patients with IHD. Complementarily, the effect of aerobic exercise, depending on the exercise method, on different mortality predictors will be compared. For this purpose, a multicentre randomised study will be carried out (2 hospitals in Elche and one in Alicante). Assessors will be blinded to the patients allocation. Participants will be aware about their allocation in the experimental groups due to the nature of the study. A total of 132 men and women with IHD (66 per sex), diagnosed between three and 12 months before the start of the intervention, aged between 45 and 75 years, and without limitations for the practice of exercise training, will be recruited. All patients will train 3 days a week for 12 weeks. Participants will be assessed before the intervention (i.e., pre), at 6 weeks of training (i.e., mid) and after the intervention (i.e., post). Physiological and psychological variables will be registered in the assessment periods. Training intensity will be individually prescribed based on the cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET). Intensity exercise will be adapted after the first part of the intervention. Analysis of covariance will be used to compare the values of the three groups after the intervention for the continuous variables, including the pre-intervention value as a covariate, while a logistic regression model will be used for the categorical variables.

NCT05292404
This is a multi-center, prospective, randomized, controlled study. The patients with STEMI who were to undergo PPCI were divided into PCSK9 inhibitor group (n=80) and conventional treatment group (n=80) using the interactive web response system (IWRS), at a 1:1 ratio. In the PCSK9 inhibitor group, a dose of PCSK9 inhibitor (alirocumab) was injected subcutaneously immediately after PPCI and was administered every two weeks thereafter for 3 months; the control group received conventional treatment. Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) were used to measure myocardial salvage index at 1 week after operation as primary endpoints. Eject fraction at 6 months after operation will also be measured by MRI as secondary endpoints. Serum TnI/T，CKMB levels were detected q8h for three times and and LDL-C levels were detected at 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after operation. Blood inflammation indicators were detected before and 1 week after the operation, and 6 months after the operation.
NCT06463275
During a heart attack, the protein troponin I is released from the heart muscle into the bloodstream. Measurements of cardiac troponin in blood are used as an aid in the diagnosis of heart attack. Low levels of troponin are also present in the blood stream of healthy individuals and can be detected by high-sensitive troponin tests. The SpinChip hs-cTnI test is a new high-sensitive test for measuring the amount of cardiac troponin I in the bloodstream as an aid in the diagnosis of heart attack. The purpose of this study is to determine the upper reference limits (URLs) for the SpinChip hs-cTnI test in a healthy population.
NCT06118281
The research study is being done to see if ziltivekimab can be used to treat people who were admitted to hospital because of a heart attack. Ziltivekimab might reduce development of heart disease, thereby preventing new heart attacks or strokes. Participants will either get ziltivekimab (active medicine) or placebo (a dummy medicine which has no effect on the body). Which treatment participants get is decided by chance. The chance of getting ziltivekimab or placebo is the same. The participant will need to inject the study medicine into a flat skin surface in there stomach, thigh, or upper arm once every month. Ziltivekimab is not yet approved in any country or region in the world. It is a new medicine that doctors cannot prescribe. The study will last for about 2 years.
