Impact of TMAO Serum Levels on Hyperemic IMR in STEMI Patients

Completed
Conditions
STEMI - ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction
Microvascular Coronary Artery Disease
Registration Number
NCT05406297
Lead Sponsor
Lithuanian University of Health Sciences
Brief Summary

Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) is a gut microbiota-dependent metabolite of dietary choline, L-carnitine, and phosphatidylcholine-rich foods. On the basis of experimental studies and patients with prevalent disease, elevated plasma TMAO may increase risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). However, to our knowledge, no data is available on its impact on coronary microcirculation.

Study & Design

Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Study Design
Not specified
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Index of microcirculatory resistance3 months

The index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) will be detected using PressureWireâ„¢ X Guidewire

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE)up to 1 year

. MACE was defined as follows: cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, target vessel revascularization, recurrent hospitalization due to decompensated heart failure, and stroke (ischemic or hemorrhagic).

Left ventricular ejection fraction3 months

left ventricular ejection fraction will be assessed via echocardiography imaging using Simpson's biplane method.
