Effect of Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone System Genetic Polymorphism on the Pharmacological Effect of Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonists in Patients With Myocardial Infarction
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Early treatment of Myocardial Infarction patients with mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist with help reduces the incidence of cardiac remodeling and development into heart failure. Also studying aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2) and mineralocorticoid receptor (NR3C2) gene polymorphisms in Egyptian Myocardial Infarction patients will help tailor medication therapy and optimize therapeutic effects with the least adverse effects.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Genetic polymorphism [3 months]
To investigate impact of genetic polymorphism in aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2), mineralocorticoid receptor (NR3C2) on pharmacological effect of MRAs in patients with STEMI through measurement of biochemical serum markers such as serum aldosterone, oxidative stress markers and cardiac remodeling markers.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Gene Interaction [3 months]
To investigate the potential interaction between these target gene polymorphisms and the overall patients' clinical outcome in response to treatment with Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs).
- Gene incidence [3 months]
To detect the incidence of aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2) and mineralocorticoid receptor (NR3C2) gene polymorphisms in Egyptian patients with ST- segment elevation (STEMI).
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
