Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

There is experimental evidence that low levels of adiponectin are associated with more reperfusion injury. In addition experimental studies have demonstrated that endothelial progenitor cells may have a favorable effect on remodeling, mainly through stimulation of neo-revascularisation. Clinical data on these issues are lacking. This clinical project studies the role of adiponectin, endothelial progenitor cells and endothelial microparticles in the ischaemia-reperfusion process and the compensatory ventricular remodelling in a population of 250 infarction patients treated with primary PCI. If the role of these factors could be confirmed in this clinical setting, those factors might represent a new target for therapeutic interventions in AMI patients.

    Arms and Interventions

    Arm Intervention/Treatment
    STEMI patients

    Patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction,lasting <12 hour, who were succesfully treated with primary PCI

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. occurrence of reperfusion injury after succesfull primary PCI [within 90 min after PCI]

      Serial ECG measurements (before and after PCI to assess extent of ST segment resolution as marker of reperfusion injury

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Major cardiovascular event rate [at 1 year]

      combined endpoint of hospitalisation (or extension of hospitalisation) for heart failure and cardiac death in a period of one year
