Target Temperature Management In Myocardial Infarction - A Pilot Study

NCT01864343 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 19

Last updated 2013-05-29

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The primary goal in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction is to reperfuse the ischemic myocardium to reduce infarct size. Animal data and human data suggest that whole-body cooling to temperatures below 35°C before revascularisation can additionally reduce infarct size and therefore improves outcome in these patients.

The purpose of the study is to determine the feasibility and safety of a combined cooling strategy started in the out-of-hospital arena for achieving pre-reperfusion hypothermia in patients with acute st-elevation myocardial infarction.

Conditions

  • ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction
