Different Reperfusion Timing and Ventricular Arrhythmias in STEMI Patients

May 21, 2024 updated by: The First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University

Association of Reperfusion Timing With Short- and Medium-term Ventricular Arrhythmias in Patients With ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction: A Prospective Observational Study

The aim of this study was to investigate the association between different reperfusion timing and ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) to provide evidence for clinical decision-making for patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). All the participants included in the study were diagnosed with STEMI according to the 4th universal definition of myocardial infarction, with a follow-up of 1, 6, 12 months, respectively. Symptom onset-to-reperfusion timing (SO2RT) and 24h-dynamic electrocardiogram parameters were recorded to compare different SO2RT and VAs during 3 follow-up visits.

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Detailed Description

It is Class I recommendation that STEMI require emergency revascularization with no delay. However, arrhythmias after acute myocardial infarction (AMI), particularly VAs, also occur in the early post-MI phase, leading to increased mortality. Previous studies have shown benefits of late reperfusion to electrical stability. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between different reperfusion timing and VAs to provide evidence for clinical decision-making for STEMI. In this multicenter, prospective, observational study, STEMI participants from July 2019 to December 2020 confirmed according to the 4th universal definition of myocardial infarction were enrolled, with a follow-up of 1, 6, 12 months, respectively. SO2RT was defined as the time interval between symptom onset and reperfusion timing which referred to the timing when coronary angiography showed Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) blood flow level 2~3 immediately after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The primary end point was VAs on 24h-dynamic electrocardiogram. Secondary outcomes included a composite of death from coronary heart disease, fetal of non-fetal ischemic stroke, revascularization, or chest pain requiring readmission.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 80 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Probability Sample

Study Population

A prospective cohort study was designed to investigate the effects of different reperfusion timing on VAs in STEMI patients. During the patients' follow-up, 24h-dynamic electrocardiography, echocardiography were required to record the incidence of primary outcome and other parameters. Information on SO2RT, demographic characteristics, hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidemia history, drug use, smoking, drinking, biochemical indexes and coronary lesions were also collected.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • STEMI patients undergoing coronary angiography and PCI;
  • can complete 3 follow-up visits well.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • without PCI;
  • undergoing thrombolytic therapy;
  • mental diseases;
  • renal failure;
  • stroke sequelae;
  • tumor and a history of revascularization.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Early reperfusion group
All patients hospitalized and diagnosed as STEMI according to the 4th universal definition of myocardial infarction underwent coronary angiography and PCI treatment. Patients with SO2RT<24 hours were assigned to Early reperfusion group.
Intermediate reperfusion group
All patients hospitalized and diagnosed as STEMI according to the 4th universal definition of myocardial infarction underwent coronary angiography and PCI treatment. Patients with SO2RT ranging from 24 hours to 7days were assigned to Intermediate reperfusion group.
Late reperfusion group
All patients hospitalized and diagnosed as STEMI according to the 4th universal definition of myocardial infarction underwent coronary angiography and PCI treatment. Patients with SO2RT>7days were assigned to Late reperfusion group.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame

Time Frame: 12 months
The incidence of ventricular arrhythmias on 24h-dynamic electrocardiogram.
12 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
