Optimized Cardioprotection Therapy in Obese Subjects With AMI

Conditions
Acute Myocardial Infarction
Myocardial Reperfusion Injury
Obesity
Adiposis; Heart
Interventions
Procedure: PCI
Registration Number
NCT04570514
Lead Sponsor
Xijing Hospital
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and mechanism of Adipokines Cardiac Protection in Obese Patients With acute myocardial infarction (AMI) Who Have Undergone Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI).

Detailed Description

Adipokines (or adipocytokines) can be defined as a group of more than 600 bioactive molecules made from adipose tissue that acts as paracrine and endocrine hormones. Adipokines are involved in maintaining varieties of processes such as, appetite and satiety, energy expenditure activity, endothelial function, blood pressure, hemostasis, adipogenesis, insulin sensitivity, energy metabolism in insulin-sensitive tissues, fat distribution and insulin secretion in pancreatic β-cells. Adipokines may contribute to reduce scar formation and improve cardiac function in acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Reperfusion therapy such as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) should be administered to all eligible patients with AMI symptom onset within the prior 12 hours. However, our previous work showed that obese patients may benefit more from PCI. Thus, the aim of the present study was to investigate the efficacy and mechanism of adipokines cardiac protection for obese and non-obese patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) who have undergone PCI.
