Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Heart attacks are usually caused by a blood clot blocking an artery supplying blood to the heart. Current treatments are designed at relieving this blockage as quickly as possible to minimise damage to the heart muscle. However in restoring the supply of blood local damage known as "ischaemia-reperfusion injury" may occur. The aim of this study is to assess how clot forming and clot dissolving pathways are affected during this process, and examine the role of a natural inflammatory hormone, bradykinin. This will help us to understand the mechanism by which ischaemia-reperfusion injury may occur and to devise new treatments for heart attacks.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

1

no ischaemia - only sham. Blood pressure cuff inflation up till 10 mmHg on the upper arm for 20 mins.

Group Type SHAM_COMPARATOR

Forearm vascular study

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Forearm blood flow measured by venous occlusion plethysmography during interarterial infusion of substance P (2,4,8 pmol/min). Venous blood sampling via cannula in antecubital fossa.

2

Ischaemia 20 minutes. Blood pressure cuff will be inflated around the upper arm for 20 minutes to induce ischaemia.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Forearm vascular study

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Forearm blood flow measured by venous occlusion plethysmography during interarterial infusion of substance P (2,4,8 pmol/min). Venous blood sampling via cannula in antecubital fossa.
