Intracoronary rhTNK-tPA Versus Tirofiban in Patients With STEMI and High Thrombus Burden

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the efficacy and safety of intracoronary rhTNK-tPA or Tirofiban in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and high thrombus burden. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is the efficacy of intracoronary rhTNK-tPA non-inferior to intracoronary Tirofiban for the treatment of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction in patients wiht high thrombus burden? * Does intracoronary rhTNK-tPA increase the incidence of bleeding events? This multicenter RCT study plans to enroll 300 patients, who are randomly divided into two groups: intracoronary rhTNK-tPA or Tirofiban by 1:1. The primary efficacy endpoint was post-PCI corrected TIMI frame count (CTFC). Major adverse events (death, recurrent myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, or hospitalization for heart failure) were observed at 1 year follow-up.

Efficacy of Thrombus Aspiration in Patients With Acute ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction: A Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized, Controlled, Single-Blind Clinical Trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if adding standardized manual thrombus aspiration to primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) works better to improve heart health outcomes and protect long-term heart function in adults with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and a high blood clot burden in the heart's arteries. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does PPCI plus manual thrombus aspiration lower the risk of serious heart problems one year after treatment, compared to PPCI alone? * Can manual thrombus aspiration better protect long-term heart function in people with a high blood clot burden? Researchers will compare two groups of participants-one group getting PPCI plus manual thrombus aspiration and one group getting only PPCI-to see if the aspiration treatment leads to fewer serious heart problems, better long-term heart function, and similar safety (including no higher risk of stroke). Participants will: * Have a heart artery scan (coronary angiography) to confirm a high blood clot burden * Be randomly assigned to one of the two treatment groups for their PPCI procedure * Complete follow-up checks at 30 days, 6 months, and 1 year after treatment, including heart function tests (like echocardiograms) * Have heart magnetic resonance (CMR) scans if selected, to measure heart tissue damage and heart function * Have their heart health status and any adverse events recorded throughout the study

A Privacy-Preserving OCR-LLM System for Coronary Syndrome Subtyping From Admission HPI: Multicenter Validation in China and the US

This study develops and validates a privacy-preserving OCR-LLM pipeline that converts admission history of present illness (HPI) records into structured coronary syndrome subtypes (STEMI, NSTEMI, unstable angina, and chronic coronary syndrome). The system first extracts text from de-identified HPI images using locally deployed OCR, then applies large language models with a fixed diagnostic prompt to generate subtype classification and evidence. Performance is evaluated in an internal validation cohort and multiple external datasets covering heterogeneous EHR templates, emergency department cases, and an English dataset from MIMIC-IV. A clinician usability study assesses changes in diagnostic accuracy and time with and without tool assistance.

Systemic Organ Communication in STEMI

Despite progress in pre-hospital care, ambulance logistics, pharmacotherapy and PPCI techniques, ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) continues to confer a substantial burden of morbidity and mortality. Within the STEMI population, there is a spectrum of higher and lower risk patients. The aim of this cohort study is to collect prospectively and systematically clinical research data from STEMI patients. This cohort study is an open-end observational study to identify master switches in myocardial ischemia.

Using Cardiac MRI to Predict Outcomes in Patients With STEMI

This prospective, multicenter observational study aims to evaluate the prognostic value of a comprehensive set of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging parameters in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The study integrates advanced artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to extract and analyze high-dimensional imaging features from multiple CMR sequences-including cine, strain mapping, and functional sequences-going beyond traditional measures such as infarct size or microvascular obstruction. The primary objective is to identify novel prognostic markers from routinely acquired CMR images that reflect myocardial structure, function, and mechanical deformation (strain), and to assess their association with long-term clinical outcomes. In addition to standard parameters, the study includes a detailed evaluation of left and right ventricular systolic and diastolic volumes, ejection fractions, and biventricular strain components (including longitudinal, circumferential, and radial strain), as well as left and right atrial volumes, emptying fractions, and reservoir/conduit/booster strain indices. Approximately 1000 STEMI patients will undergo CMR scanning within one week after PCI. The imaging data will be subjected to AI-based feature extraction and dimensionality reduction algorithms to uncover latent patterns associated with adverse outcomes. Patients will be followed for up to three years for the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), including cardiovascular death, recurrent myocardial infarction, and heart failure hospitalization. The central hypothesis is that comprehensive CMR functional and strain-derived parameters, when analyzed using AI-driven models, offer independent and incremental prognostic value beyond conventional clinical risk factors. This study seeks to establish a data-driven, multimodal imaging framework for personalized risk stratification in STEMI patients, potentially enabling more precise post-infarction management strategies. No investigational treatment is involved. All imaging and clinical data are collected as part of routine care and analyzed retrospectively for outcome prediction.

Early Beta Blocker Administration in STEMI Patients With SCAI B Status

This study is looking at how a medication called beta-blockers (metoprolol) affects patients with a heart attack (STEMI) who are in the cardiac intensive care unit. When patients are admitted to the unit, they will be randomly placed in one of two groups. One group will get the metoprolol medication, and the other will receive a placebo (a harmless pill that looks like the real medication). All other treatments will be the same for both groups. During the study, which is 72 hours long, patients will be monitored for blood pressure, heart rate, and lactate levels alterations. The main goal is to see if the medication helps improve patients condition or prevent it from getting worse. patients safety is a top priority, and if needed, the doctors can stop the study at any time if there are concerns.

Cardioprotective Effect of Dexmedetomidine in Patients With ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction

This is a double-blind, multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial. It is planned to enroll patients admitted with anterior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) within 6h of symptom onset and undergo primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI). Patients who meet the inclusion criteria and without exclusion criteria were randomized 1:1 into the dexmedetomidine (DEX) group or the placebo (saline) group after signing the informed consent. In the DEX group, intravenous injection of DEX was started immediately after enrollment, covering the entire PCI operation, and the administration was stopped at the end of the pPCI. The administration of saline was the same as those in the DEX group. The primary endpoint was the myocardial infarct size (MIS) as assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) at 5±2 days post-STEMI. Based on a superiority design and assuming an 20.0% relative infarct size reduction (from 26.0% to 20.8% with a SD of 13.0%), 250 patients are required to be enrolled, accounting for 20% drop-out (α= 0.05 and power= 80%).
