No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The study aims is to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of L-Carnitine on biomarkers of myocardial reperfusion injury in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary PCI by the assessment of nitrotyrosine as an oxidative stress marker and Matrix metallopeptidase-2 (MMP-2) as a cardiac fibrosis marker

Conditions

Interventions

DRUG

L-Carnitine

DRUG

The standard care for the management of myocardial infarction post PCI

include the required antiplatelet (Dual Antiplatelet Therapy; DAPT), anticoagulants, and anti-ischemic measures (high-intensity statin, ACEI, or aldosterone) as per latest guidelines recommendations.
