Advanced Cardiovascular Imaging of the Systemic Effects of Inflammasome Activation
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Subjects with urgently reperfused type I myocardial infarction (MI) will be recruited and randomized to receive either placebo or the oral inflammasome (NLRP3) inhibitor dapansutrile. The primarily outcome measure will be carotid plaque volume change over 6 months; secondary outcome measures will be plaque inflammatory activity and coronary microvascular function.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Remote plaque volume [6 months]
Carotid artery plaque volume change by ultrasound measured by 3D ultrasound. Outcome units will be cm3 averaged for bilateral carotid arteries.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Plaque inflammation [3 months]
Carotid artery plaque inflammatory activity by PET-CT. Units will be SVU averaged bilaterally for a region-of-interest over the carotid bifurcation.
- Coronary microvascular function [3 months]
Coronary microvascular reactivity by myocardial contrast echo (MCE) quantitative perfusion imaging. The primary endpoint unit will be coronary microvascular flux rate reserve (regadenoson stress: rest ratio).
