Myocardial Perfusion Study to Detect Coronary Microvascular Abnormality in Diabetic Patients With Nonfatal Myocardial Infarction (GEMyCE 1)

State University of New York - Upstate Medical University

Status: Completed

Conditions: Myocardial Infarction

Study type: Observational

Funder types: Other

Identifiers

NCT01749683

GEMyCE1

Details and patient eligibility

About

The goal of this study is to use MCE (myocardial contrast/perfusion echocardiography) to study and compare short/long term change of myocardial perfusion abnormality and cardiac outcome in diabetic patients after nonfatal MI (heart attack), who are treated with different glucose control agents.

Enrollment: 100 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 71 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Diabetic and nondiabetic patients will be initially recruited and studied after acute nonfatal MI and revascularization with either PCI or CABG

Exclusion criteria

• Patients are excluded if they are older than 70 year old, require mechanical ventilation, are receiving intravenous pressors or hemodynamic support, or if the motion of segments associated with infarct-related artery can not be accurately determined.
