OPTIMISER Registry - A Prospective Cohort Study to Describe the OPTIMal Management and Outcomes of PatIents PreSEnting With Acute MyocaRdial Infarction

Observational Luzerner Kantonsspital · NCT04988672

This study is looking at how well different treatments work for patients who have had a heart attack and received a specific procedure called PCI, to see what helps them recover better.

What this trial studies

The OPTIMISER Registry aims to collect both baseline and clinical data from patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) who are treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This observational study will analyze procedural success and clinical outcomes, comparing results across different clinical subgroups. It will assess various procedural outcomes, long-term clinical outcomes, and the impact of different devices and strategies used during PCI. Additionally, the study will evaluate predictors for stent implantation failure and the effects of antithrombotic regimens on patient outcomes.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include individuals over 18 years old who are newly diagnosed with AMI or have been diagnosed within the last five years.

Not a fit: Patients who are unwilling or unable to provide informed consent or those with conditions unrelated to acute coronary syndrome will not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved management strategies and outcomes for patients experiencing acute myocardial infarction.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown success in optimizing treatment strategies for AMI, making this approach both relevant and potentially impactful.
