NCT06744322

Brief Summary

To evaluate the hypothesis that a fast discharge strategy (discharge at 24 \[± 12\] hours) following invasive management for acute myocardial infarction is non-inferior to standard of care (\>36 hours) with respect to the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) during follow-up.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • MACE

    MACE is defined as a composite of all-cause death, myocardial re-infarction and unscheduled cardiovascular re-hospitalization.

    From the date of randomization until the first documented event during the follow-up period (up to 12 months).

Secondary Outcomes (12)

  • All cause death

    From the date of randomization until the first documented event during the follow-up period (up to 12 months).

  • Number of participants with myocardial re-infarction

    From the date of randomization until the first documented event during the follow-up period (up to 12 months).

  • Number of participants with unscheduled cardiovascular re-hospitalization

    From the date of randomization until the first documented event during the follow-up period (up to 12 months).

  • Number of participants with Cardiovascular death

    From the date of randomization until the first documented event during the follow-up period (up to 12 months).

  • Number of participants hospitalized for heart failure

    From the date of randomization until the first documented event during the follow-up period (up to 12 months).

  • +7 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Standard Care

NO INTERVENTION

Patients undergo a standard post-infarction care, with discharge at \>36 hours after invasive management of acute myocardial infarction.

Fast discharge strategy

EXPERIMENTAL

Fast discharge at 24 (+/-12) hours after invasive management of acute myocardial infarction.

Procedure: Fast discharge strategy

Interventions

Patients undergoing invasive management after myocardial infarction will be discharged after 24 (+/- 12) hours.

Fast discharge strategy

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Uncomplicated acute myocardial infarction (NSTEMI and STEMI) diagnosed according to the 2023 acute coronary syndrome guidelines of the ESC
  • Age ≥ 18 years at time of consent
  • Invasive management strategy and in case of PCI successful intervention of the culprit lesion defined by post-interventional TIMI 3 flow
  • Ability to understand and willingness to sign and date written informed consent

You may not qualify if:

  • Myocardial infarction complicated by cardiac arrest (out-of-hospital cardiac arrest/in-hospital cardiac arrest)
  • PCI-related complications (coronary perforation, side branch closure, inability to deliver stent/balloon, aortic dissection, allergic reaction grade ≥2, stroke/thromboembolism, access site complications including pseudoaneurysm, arteriovenous fistula, retroperitoneal hemorrhage and arterial dissection/occlusion or emboli)
  • Malignant arrhythmias including sustained ventricular arrhythmias and persistent bradycardia (\< 50 beats per minute due to sinus node or atrioventricular conduction system abnormalities, second- /third-degree atrioventricular block) after PCI
  • Ongoing hemodynamic instability (systolic blood pressure \<90 mmHg, elevated lactate concentrations, need for inotropes or vasopressors)
  • Ongoing respiratory instability defined by Killip class \>I (rales, pulmonary edema)
  • Ongoing quantitative disorders of consciousness (somnolence, sopor, coma)
  • Acute kidney injury defined by Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) stages 2 and 3
  • Pregnancy
  • Untreated critical non-culprit lesions requiring revascularization during index hospitalization not allowing fast discharge
  • Immobility/limited mobility or social circumstances that prevent fast discharge assessed by an interprofessional care team
