Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Adequacy of anticoagulation with enoxaparin (anti-Xa levels ≥ 0.5 U/ml to 1.5 U/ml) vs. unfractionated heparin (ACT - ≥200 - 250 seconds with concomitant GP IIb/IIIa antagonist and ACT - ≥250 - 350 seconds without concomitant GP IIb/IIIa antagonist).

    During Primary PCI

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Composite of major bleeding (non-CABG), death, cardiogenic shock, and congestive heart failure

    30 days

  • ECG & angiographic measures before and after primary PCI

    24 hours

Study Arms (2)

Enoxaparin

EXPERIMENTAL
Drug: enoxaparin

Unfractionated heparin

ACTIVE COMPARATOR
Drug: Unfractionated heparin

Interventions

Enoxaparin 0.5 mg/kg IV bolus (Regardless of whether the investigator has chosen to initiate concomitant GP IIb/IIIa antagonist; provision for additional IV enoxaparin to be administered if elapsed time to PCI exceeds 2 hours (from original IV dose) - enoxaparin 0.25 mg/kg IV will be administered At the discretion of the treating physician, if sustained anticoagulation is required then enoxaparin subcutaneously will be administered - enoxaparin 1.0 mg/kg SQ q 12 hours. Maintenance dose adjustment for renal insufficiency - creatinine clearance \< 30 ml/min, sc enoxaparin should be administered at 1.0 mg / kg / q24 hours. No adjustment of IV dose is required in case of renal insufficiency

Enoxaparin

Unfractionated heparin 70 u/kg IV bolus (consistent with ASSENT 4 PCI) Baseline ACT will be draw at time of sheath insertion - With use of GP IIb/IIIa antagonist additional UFH will be administered to achieve an ACT of ≥200 - 250 seconds If IIb/IIIa is not utilized - additional UFH will be administered to achieve an ACT of ≥250-350 seconds At the discretion of the treating physician if sustained anticoagulation is required:UFH infusion 12/u/kg/hr IV infusion to commence

Unfractionated heparin

Eligibility Criteria

Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Age equal or greater than 18 years
  • Onset of symptoms of STEMI \< 3 hours prior to randomisation
  • lead ECG (ST elevation will be measured from the J point) indicative of an acute STEMI: \>2 mm ST elevation across 2 contiguous precordial leads (best 2 of V1-V6) or leads I, AVL for a minimum combined total of \>4 mm ST elevation,or \>3 mm ST elevation in 2 contiguous inferior leads (best 2 of II, III, AVF) for a minimum combined total of \> 6 mm ST elevation.
  • Informed consent received

You may not qualify if:

  • PCI (1st balloon inflation) expected to commence \< 60 minutes from diagnosis (qualifying ECG) or inability to arrive at the cardiac catheterization laboratory (1st balloon inflation) within 3 hours after randomisation.
  • Anticipated or obvious problem with vascular access.
  • Previous CABG
  • Left bundle branch block or ventricular pacing.
  • Patients with cardiogenic shock - Killip Class 4
  • Patients with a body weight \< 55 kg (known or estimated)
  • Uncontrolled hypertension, defined as blood pressure measurement \> 180/110 mm Hg (systolic BP \> 180 mm Hg and/or diastolic BP \> 110 mm Hg) confirmed on repeat measures (2 documented measurements at any time) prior to randomization.
  • Known use oral anticoagulants (warfarin or coumadin) or GP IIb/IIIa antagonists within the preceding 7 days or recent administration of any IV or SC anticoagulation within 12 hours including: unfractionated heparin, enoxaparin, and/or bivalirudin.
  • Active bleeding, known bleeding diathesis/disorder including thrombocytopenia or clinical diagnosis associated with increased risk of bleeding including: known active peptic ulceration and/or neoplasm with increased bleeding risk.
  • Major surgery, biopsy of a parenchymal organ, or significant trauma within the past 2 months (this includes any trauma associated with the current AMI)
  • Any history of central nervous system abnormality (i.e. neoplasm, aneurysm, intracranial or spinal surgery) or recent trauma to the head or cranium (i.e \<3 months)
  • Any known history of haemorrhagic stroke or stroke of unknown origin
  • Ischaemic stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA) in the preceding 6 months
  • Prolonged or traumatic cardiopulmonary resuscitation (\> 10 minutes) within the past 2 weeks
  • Known acute pericarditis and/or subacute bacterial endocarditis
  • +5 more criteria
