Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Symptoms of acute myocardial infarction of more than 30 minutes; 2. ST segment elevation of > 1 mV in 2 adjacent ECG leads, with cumulative ST segment deviation of 6 mm or more. Ability to perform PCA within 6 hours after onset of symptoms.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Patient with a contraindication to anticoagulation: a. Present bleeding disorder including gastrointestinal bleeding, hematuria, or known presence of occult blood in the stool prior to randomization. b. Systolic blood pressure persistently exceeding 200 mm Hg and/or diastolic blood pressure exceeding 110 mm Hg at time of enrollment. c. Recent (<6 mnd) Stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack; 2. Patients with severe renal failure (hemodialysis); 3. Patient with recent (< 30 days) major surgery; 4. Participation in another clinical study one year before enrollment.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To investigate the effect of upfront pre-treatment with a high bolus dosage of Tirofiban on the extent of residual ST segment deviation 1 hour after Primary Coronary Angioplasty for acute myocardial infarction, compared to no pre-treatment (besides Aspirin, Heparin and 600 mg of Clopidogrel). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. To investigate the effect of upfront pre-treatment with a high bolus dosage of Tirofiban on the incidence of TIMI 3 flow of the infarct related vessel (IRV) at initial angiography, compared to no pre-treatment (besides Aspirin, Heparin and 600 mg of Clopidogrel); 2. To investigate the effect of upfront pre-treatment with a high bolus dosage of Tirofiban on the incidence of normal myocardial perfusion as assessed by Myocardial Blush Grade scoring immediately after primary angioplasty, compared to no pre-treatment (besides Aspirin, Heparin and 600 mg of Clopidogrel); 3. To investigate the effect of upfront pre-treatment with a high bolus dosage of Tirofiban on infarct size as assessed by a single cTnT measurement performed 48-72 hours after Primary Coronary Angioplasty for acute myocardial infarction, compared to no pre-treatment (besides Aspirin, Heparin and 600 mg of Clopidogrel); 4. To investigate the effect of upfront pre-treatment with a high bolus dosage of Tirofiban on the incidence of the combined occurrence of death, recurrent MI, urgent TVR, or thrombotic bailout at 30 days follow-up, compared to no pre-treatment (besides Aspirin, Heparin and 600 mg of Clopidogrel); 5. To investigate the effect of upfront pre-treatment with a high bolus dosage of Tirofiban on the incidence of major bleeding (according to the most recent TIMI criteria), compared to no pre-treatment (besides Aspirin, Heparin and 600 mg of Clopidogrel). | — |
