IAPREC: Intensive Arterial Pressure Control in Acute Coronary Syndrome
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The intensive arterial pressure control in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) during the first 24 hours can improve the prognosis in the short and long term.
the study compare two treatment strategies (standard and intensive treatment) to assess their efficacy and safety in the treatment of acute coronary syndrome.

Detailed Description
Acute coronary syndrome is often associated with arterial pressure elevation which are deleterious for the heart and needs urgent intervention to lower the blood pressure to the required values, however there is no clear recommendations concerning the treatment intensity in this situation.
The investigators know that high arterial pressure increases the oxygen myocardial consumption and it is deleterious in acute coronary syndrome, so , it is logical to reduce intensively this pressure.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: intensive controle group The end point in this group was to maintain the systolic blood pressure (SBP) between 110 and 120 mmHg using continuous intravenous Isosorbide Dinitrate perfusion, and Labetalol if needed. |
Drug: Isosorbide Dinitrate
administration of continuous intravenous isosorbide dinitrate to obtain a SBP between 110 and 120 mmHg. After 2 hours from the start of treatment and if the blood pressure goal is not achieved, labetalol is used

Active Comparator: standard control group The end point in these group was to maintain the systolic blood pressure under 140 mmHg using continuous intravenous Isosorbide Dinitrate perfusion, and Labetalol if needed. |
Drug: Isosorbide Dinitrate
administration of continuous intravenous isosorbide dinitrate to obtain a SBP between 110 and 120 mmHg. After 2 hours from the start of treatment and if the blood pressure goal is not achieved, labetalol is used
