Terminated
Conditions
ST Elevatation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI)
Registration Number
NCT02021487
Lead Sponsor

Brief Summary

The study aims to investigate the presence of a substance in the blood called prokinecitine, which is released by the heart when a heart attack occurs. Several venous blood samples at the arm are withdrawn at admission, H6, H12, H24, H48 and H72 in order to measure the concentration of this substance in the blood.
