The Clinical Effect of Intensive Statin Therapy in STEMI Patients Before Emergency PCI

Phase 3
Conditions
ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction
(STEMI)
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT01334671
Lead Sponsor
General Hospital of Chinese Armed Police Forces
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical effect of intensive statin therapy before emergency PCI in patients with STEMI.

Detailed Description

150 STEMI patients planned for emergency PCI were randomized to three groups, Group 1:received atorvastatin 80-mg loading dose before PCI then followed by 40-mg daily for one month and a maintenance dose of 20-mg qd thereafter(n=50); Group 2:received atorvastatin 40-mg qd after PCI for one month and a maintenance dose of 20-mg qd thereafter(n=50); Group 3: received atorvastatin 20-mg qd after PCI (n=50).Before PCI,all subjects received oral administration of aspirin 300mg and clopidogrel 300mg.Levels of creatine kinase,CK-MB(creatine kinase-MB),were measured to estimate myocardial damage degree.HS-CRP(high sensitivity C -reactive protein),NO(NO synthase),SAA(Serum amyloid A) were measured at preoperation 1 hour,postoperative 24 and 72 hours,7days after PCI. To compare echocardiography changes among three groups.Patients enrolled in the study need to receive follow-up survey which was carried out by clinical doctors.Hence,MACEs were analyzed during 6-month follow-up.So, the aim of our study is to evaluate the clinical significance of loading dosage of atorvastatin therapy and analyze the mechanism underlying it.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
MACEs (Major adverse cardiac events)follow-up for 6 months

MACEs were compared among three groups during follow-up in STEMI patients undergoing emergency PCI.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Echocardiographic changespostoperative 6 month

to compare echocardiographic changes ( left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF); Left Ventricular Internal Diameter diastolic(LVIDd);Left Ventricular Internal Diameter systolic (LVIDs),Left Ventricular Enddiastolic Volume(LVEDV);Left Ventricular Endsystolic Volume(LVESV)at postoperative 6 month among three groups

HS-CRP,NO,SAA valuespreoperation 1 hour,postoperative 24 and 72 hours,postoperative 7 days

to compare hs-crp,no,saa values at differnt treatment period among three groups

CK,CK-MBpreoperation 1hour,postoperation 4/8/12/16/20/24hours

to estimate myocardial damage degree among three groups

AST(glutamic-oxalacetic transaminease ),ALT(glutamic-pyruvic transaminase),LDL(low density lipoprotein cholesterin),TG(triglyceride)preoperation 1 hour,postoperation 24 and 72hours,postoperation 7 days

to monitor adverse drug reaction
