Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of three different vasodilators including diltiazem, verapamil and nitroglycerin for reversal of no-reflow/slow-flow during direct percutaneous coronary intervention for acute myocardial infarction.

Clinical Details

Official title: Reversal of No-reflow/Slow-flow During Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction--a Prospective Randomized Study Comparing Intracoronary Infusion of Diltiazem, Verapamil and Nitroglycerin

Study design: Treatment, Randomized, Double Blind (Subject, Outcomes Assessor), Active Control, Parallel Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study

Primary outcome: Vessel flow using TIMI flow grade and TIMI frame count

Secondary outcome:

major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE)

Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) through echocardiography

NT-proBNP levels

Detailed description: No-reflow/slow-flow is a frequent observation during direct PCI for AMI and associated with a poor clinical outcome. The present pharmacological management involves the use of different vasodilators including nitrates, verapamil, adenosine and nicorandil. But no randomized trial has been conducted to assess any of these agents, or to determine the appropriate dosage. This prospective randomized study aimed to confirm favorable effects of diltiazem on no-reflow/slow-flow during direct PCI for AMI compared with verapamil and nitroglycerin.

Eligibility

Minimum age: 18 Years. Maximum age: 80 Years. Gender(s): Both.
