Sevoflurane In Acute Myocardial Infarction

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Acute Myocardial Infarction
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT00971607
Lead Sponsor
Lawson Health Research Institute
Brief Summary

Ischemic postconditioning can reduce myocardial injury following myocardial infarction.

A potential pharmacological agent is the anesthetic Sevoflurane. The investigators' hypothesis is that sevoflurane during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) will reduce infarct size.

Detailed Description

Patients with first STEMI that will be treated by primary PCI, will be randomized to sedation with Sevoflurane during the procedure or to usual care.
