Remote Ischemic Conditioning in STEMI to Decrease Infarct Size

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: CAD; STEMI

• Registration Number: NCT03930589
• Lead Sponsor: University of Alberta

Brief Summary

Following acute STEMI patients may have significant myocardial damage and subsequent heart failure. There is currently conflicting data regarding the benefit of remote ischemic conditioning to decrease the magnitude of infarction. Remote ischemic condition is a process where by repetitive intermittent limb ischemia is used to decrease the magnitude of myocardial damage caused by coronary artery occlusion and the subsequent reperfusion injury in STEMI patients. RemCon-STEMI is a multicenter randomized trial to test the impact of remote ischemic conditioning in acute STEMI.
