Clopidogrel Efficacy and Acute Coronary Syndromes
The Comparison of Clopidogrel Efficacy in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction and Severe Hemodynamic Instability to Patients With Hemodynamically Uncomplicated Myocardial Infarction

The purpose of this study is to compare clopidogrel effectiveness between severe hemodynamically unstable versus stable patients with acute myocardial infarction.

Clopidogrel exists in oral form only. As a prodrug, it has to be metabolized to the active form by cytochrome system in the liver. Both facts could lead to lower efficacy of the drug in hemodynamically unstable patients, where splanchnic and liver hypoperfusion is present. We hypothesised that clopidogrel efficacy is insufficient in patients with acute myocardial infarction and severe hemodynamic instability. Therefore we would like to compare the effect of clopidogrel in unstable STEMI patients on mechanical ventilation with stable STEMI patients.

Description:

Whole blood
Probability Sample

Population of 40 consecutive patients is planned, all of them with acute myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation.
Acute Myocardial Infarction
Not Provided
  • Unstable
    Patient with acute myocardial infarction plus severe hemodynamical instability. It means, on mechanical ventilation and catecholamine support
  • Stable
    Patients with myocardial infarction hemodynamically completely (Killip I)stable.
