Brief summary

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ketotifen (MC stabilizer) on the basis of standard treatment after primary PCI in STEMI patients. The ketotifen group and the control group were the ketotifen group and the control group. The control group continued to receive STEMI standard treatment. The ketotifen group received ketotifen for 3 months on the basis of standard treatment within 24 hours after primary PCI, and was followed up for 1 year. Infarct size, as well as differences in echocardiography, markers of two-dimensional speckle tracking, inflammatory factors and MC markers, and major adverse cardiovascular events.

Detailed description

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the best way to improve the prognosis of patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, STEMI after PCI may still have ischemia-reperfusion injury, inappropriate ventricular remodeling and myocardial fibrosis, which may be related to the inflammatory response of STEMI. Mast cells (MCs) and their degranulation products play an important role in the inflammatory response as well as inducing a series of inflammatory factors. It has been observed in animal experiments that MC stabilizers can improve the ejection fraction, reduce myocardial infarction size and myocardial fibrosis in patients with STEMI, but there is a lack of clinical studies to confirm the role of MC stabilizers in STEMI. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ketotifen (MC stabilizer) on the basis of standard treatment after primary PCI in STEMI patients. The ketotifen group and the control group were the ketotifen group and the control group. The control group continued to receive STEMI standard treatment. The ketotifen group received ketotifen for 3 months on the basis of standard treatment within 24 hours after primary PCI, and was followed up for 1 year. Infarct size, as well as differences in echocardiography, markers of two-dimensional speckle tracking, inflammatory factors and MC markers, and major adverse cardiovascular events, to demonstrate that ketotifen can reduce ischemia-reperfusion injury and improve ventricular reperfusion in AMI. It provides new ideas for the treatment of AMI and a new basis for the optimization of STEMI treatment strategies.

Interventions

Ketotifen treatment for 3 months, 1 mg each time, 1-2 times a day according to the patient's tolerance

DRUGstandard treatment

Standard treatment methods will be determined according to the Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Acute ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (2019) \[19\], including primary PCI, dual antiplatelet, anticoagulation, ACEI/ARB/ARNI, β-receptor blockade drugs, statins, etc.
