Effect of Long Term Trimetazidine Treatment on Final Myocardial Fibrosis for ST Eleviation Myocardial Infarction (Easy)

December 25, 2025 updated by: Qian geng, Chinese PLA General Hospital

Effect of Long Term Trimetazidine Treatment on Myocardial Final Fibrosis for Acute Myocardial Infarction

Trimetazidine is a agent promoting glucose utilization by limiting fatty-acid oxidation.Trimetazidine could improve cardiac function in patients with ischemic heart disease. We aimed to explore effect of Trimetazidine on final myocardial fibrosis for patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in real world clinical practice. In this observational study, we investigated the effect of long-term treatment with trimetazidine on the final extent of myocardial fibrosis measured by cardiac magnetic resonance 6 months after infarction in real world clinical practice.

Study Overview

Status

Completed

Detailed Description

This study is an prospective observational real-world clinical research. We evaluated the effect of long term trimetazidine treatment after the primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), the myocardial infarction size in STEMI patients could be further reduced by metabolic regulation therapy. This study contributes to the development of standardized treatment procedure for STEMI patients.
