Brief Summary

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

The aim of this study is to characterize the protective pattern of intermittent hypoxia, angina pectoris and remote ischemic conditioning, in reperfusion injury by determining and monitoring the plasma immunometabolic parameters of patients with STEMI. This could contribute to better understanding of this phenotypic pattern with translation into clinical practice.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In acute myocardial infarction with ST segment elevation (STEMI), lethal reperfusion injury of the myocardium, caused by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), represents additional and irreversible damage due to ischemic heart muscle reperfusion that contributes to the final size of the infarct zone by up to 50%. The size of the infarcted area is the major determinant for the long-term prognosis and heart failure progression in patients with STEMI. Cardioprotection from ischemic - reperfusion myocardial injury (MIRI) can be regulated by its own innate physiological adaptive mechanisms like intermittent hypoxia achieved by the method of conditioning that includes short sublethal ischemic and reperfusion episodes.

The known natural clinical equivalent of intermittent hypoxia and the starting point in understanding the underlying mechanism is angina pectoris (AP).

Intermittent hypoxia is a protective mechanism against heart ischemic-reperfusion injury with reduced tissue damage and consequently better outcome in patients with STEMI. For the purpose of this work, a cardioprotective pattern was defined that includes immunometabolic factors as parameters for assessing the state of intermittent hypoxia on which the success of the application of the method of remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) is based.

Study Groups

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

Group 1- angina pectoris

Patients with acute coronary syndrome; angina pectoris (chest pain with negative troponin T with or without changes in electrocardiographic findings);

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Group 2 - angina pectoris + STEMI+ PCI

Patients with acute myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation, \< 6 hours from the onset of chest pain and preceding symptoms of angina pectoris with primary percutaneous coronary intervention.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Group 3 - without angina pectoris + STEMi + RIC + PCI

Patients with acute myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation, \< 6 hours from the onset of chest pain and without preceding symptoms of angina pectoris with primary percutaneous coronary intervention during which it's carried out remote ischemic conditioning (RIC)

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Remote Ischemic Conditioning (RIC)

Intervention Type DEVICE

RIC is a non-invasive method that achieves a state of intermittent hypoxia, and is performed by inflating the cuff of the pressure gauge on the left upper arm to 200 mmHg in 4 episodes of five-minute ischemia and reperfusion alternately for 45 minutes.

Group 4 - without angina pectoris + STEMI + PCI

Patients with acute myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation, \< 6 hours from the onset of chest pain and without preceding symptoms of angina pectoris with primary percutaneous coronary intervention.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Group 5 - healthy + RIC

healthy volunteers of the same age and sex, whose samples will be taken after the RIC procedure

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Remote Ischemic Conditioning (RIC)

Intervention Type DEVICE

RIC is a non-invasive method that achieves a state of intermittent hypoxia, and is performed by inflating the cuff of the pressure gauge on the left upper arm to 200 mmHg in 4 episodes of five-minute ischemia and reperfusion alternately for 45 minutes.
