Primary PCI
Conditions
Brief summary
Carvedilol, target dose: 50 mg daily; Bisoprolol, target dose: 10 mg daily; Metoprolol tartrate, target dose: 150 mg daily; Metroprolol succinate, target dose: 200 mg daily
Detailed description
The investigators will investigate the efficacy and safety of different β -blockers, as well as heart rate variability, in STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI.
Interventions
Target doses of carvedilol, bisoprolol, metoprolol tartrate, or metroprolol succinate

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Admitted for primary PCI for STEMI involving the LAD within 12 hours of onset of symptoms. STEMI will be defined as typical ECG changes (ST segment elevation ≥2mm in 2 or more precordial leads) associated with acute chest pain or an elevation of cardiac enzymes; * Age ≥18 years; * Informed consent from patient or next of kin.
Exclusion criteria
* Nonischaemic Cardiomyopathy; * Cardiac surgery planed in the 6 months; * Mechanical complication of STEMI (ventricular septal rupture, free wall rupture, acute severe mitral regurgitation); * Renal or hepatic failure; * Malignancy, HIV, or central nervous system disorder; * Cardiopulmonary resuscitation \>15 min and compromised level of consciousness; * Cardiogenic shock; * Current participation in any research study involving investigational drugs or devices; * No written consensus; * Previous myocardial infarction.
