Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Duration: estimated 2 years.
Indications: Type II myocardial infarction in critically ill patients.
Purpose:
1. To recognise the incidence of type I myocardial infarction (MI) in patients with suspected type II MI.
2. Determining the safety of early coronary angiography in this population.
3. Assessment of the effect of percutaneous coronary revascularization in critically ill patients with stable obstructive coronary disease and type II MI.
Hypotheses:
1. Obstructive coronary artery disease suitable for percutaneous revascularization is present in majority of patients with type II MI.
2. Type I MI (acute coronary artery thrombosis) is present in some patients and not recognised.
3. Echocardiogram and a 12-lead electrocardiogram are not reliable in predicting coronary artery disease.
4. Urgent invasive diagnostic is safe in patients with type II MI.
5. Percutaneous revascularization (if indicated) reduces the size of myocardial necrosis in patients with type II MI.
Objectives:
* Primary endpoint: to demonstrate that percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in the group with obstructive coronary disease reduces the size of MI.
* Secondary endpoints: improved cardiac function after revascularization, shorter hospitalization, reduced mortality.
* Safety objective: renal function, bleeding complications.
Population: 140 patients with type II MI over 18 years of age with no evidence of active bleeding.
Inclusion criteria:
* age\> 18 years
* High sensitive troponin I \> 40 ng / L for women and \> 58ng / L for men
* Critical illness (at least one vital organ support)
* Imaging signs (electrocardiogram or ultrasound) signs of myocardial ischemia
Exclusion criteria:
* active bleeding
* terminal illness
Monitoring of patients: during hospitalization, 30 days after discharge, 6 months after discharge.
Performance check:
* PCI success (% of "thrombolysis in myocardial infarction" flow 3)
* the size of MI (troponin area under the curve)
* left ventricular ejection fraction
* hospital stay
* 30 day survival
Safety Check:
* monitoring of renal function
* monitoring of bleeding complications
* monitoring of allergic reactions to contrast and medication
Patient Consent: written informed consent for inclusion in the study in conscious population. In unconscious patients, written consent will be obtained in the event of mental function improvement.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Due to the lack of data on the efficacy of acute percutaneous revascularization, these patients are generally treated medically. The cause of the increase in oxygen consumption is treated. Usually invasive diagnostics is performed only in case of severe hemodynamic instability, very high levels of troponin, or clear newly formed segmental wall contraction disorders visible on ultrasound. Delays to invasive diagnostics are generally longer than the time frames recommended for invasive diagnostics in the treatment of type I MI without the ST segment elevation in ECG (NSTE-ACS).
HYPOTHESES
1. Obstructive coronary artery disease suitable for percutaneous revascularization is present in most patients with type II MI.
2. Type I MI (acute coronary artery thrombosis) is misdiagnosed in some patients.
3. Echocardiogram and a 12-lead electrocardiogram are not reliable in predicting coronary artery disease.
4. Urgent coronary angiography is safe in patients with type II MI.
5. Percutaneous coronary revascularization (if indicated) reduces the size of myocardial necrosis and may improve survival in the critically ill patients with type II MI.
METHODS A prospective randomized trial in critically ill patients with type II MI will be performed. All patients will undergo coronary angiography in the first 24 hours after the diagnosis. If acute coronary artery thrombosis is found, PCI will be done according to the latest European Society of Cardiology guidelines for NSTE-ACS (2). In the case of non-obstructive coronary artery disease or a normal coronary angiogram, standard treatment of the underlying disease (pneumonia, sepsis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, etc.) will be continued. Patients with stable obstructive coronary artery disease will be randomized into two groups - interventional and control group. The first group of patients will undergo immediate percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (of all obstructive lesions or until 300 mL of contrast is reached), the second group will receive only medical treatment and a delayed PCI if needed before hospital discharge.
Serial serum high sensitivity troponin I levels will be monitored at pre specified time intervals (baseline, after 6, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 and 72 hours) and the "area under the curve" of troponin concentration will be calculated, serving as a rough estimate of myocardial necrosis size. At predetermined intervals, cardiac function will be evaluated with echocardiography (baseline, day 3-5). Intensive care unit stay and hospitalization duration will be recorded as well as survival at 30 days and 6 months.
Mortality rates in patients with type II MI treated in ICU are high (up to 40%). The invertigators anticipate that the intervention could reduce myocardial necrosis (troponin area under the curve) by 20-30% (primary goal) and absolute mortality by 5-10% (secondary goal). In order to achieve a study power of 80% and a statistically significant difference between groups with p \<0.05, 70 patients should be included in each group. According to current hospitalization data at the Department of Intensive Internal Medicine Ljubljana, such a number of patients would require 18-24 months of enrolment.
In the course of the study, potential complications would be carefully noted, notably the potential for additional bleeding due to arterial punctures and the use of additional anticoagulation and antiplatelet drugs in the invasive group. Kidney function will be closely monitored and the contrast volume will be limited to 300 mL.
The study will be carried out in critically ill patients who, in general, are not able to give informed consent for inclusion in the study at the time of enrolment. Therefore, the invertigators will seek for legal representative's agreement or patient's consent after mental improvement.
EXPECTATIONS Obstructive coronary disease is expected to be found in majority of patients with type II MI. In some patients concomitant coronary thrombosis is expected, which would be missed by standard diagnostics.
The investigators believe that a routine invasive approach and PCI of obstructive coronary lesions could reduce the infarct size and thus improve the prognosis of patients with type II MI without significant complications in their treatment.
The study will provide important data on the safety and efficacy of early coronary angiography in patients with type II MI, as it is currently only occasionally performed on the basis of extrapolations from studies conducted in patients with NSTE-AKS.
