Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: (at least 2 out of 3 of the following): 1. Ischemic Chest Pain at rest with last attack 0,1 mVolt in 2 leads; 3. Evidence of myocardial damage: Positive Troponin (>0.05 microgr/l) or Myoglobin (>200 microg/l) on admission or 3 hours later or; 4. Positive CPKmb fraction on admission.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Age 80 years; 2. Persistent ST segment elevation; 3. Cardiogenic Shock or pulmonary edema; 4. Myocardial ischemia precipitated by non-cardiac condition (anemia, hyperthyroidism); 5. PTCA within previous 6 months; 6. Renal failure/Liver failure.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The Tirofiban strategy results in a smaller enzymatic infarct size, compared to the Clopidogrel strategy. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Enzymatic Infarct Size (LDHQ72); 2. Hospital Stay. Total duration in hospital in days, including admission and discharge day. Do Dexamethason-coated Stents Decrease the incidence of Restenosis in patients with an Acute Coronary Syndrome? 3.Clinical endpoints 3.1 Death Total mortality will be assessed at 30 days follow-up. 3.2 Myocardial Infarction a. Early MI in patients presenting with CKmb > upper limit of normal. b. Early MI in patients presenting with CKmb not exceeding the upper limit of normal c. Late MI in patients whose CKmb has returmed to (or has remained) normal. d. MI in patients who underwent CABG. 3.3 Stroke All (hemorrhagic and non-hemorrhagic) strokes must be confirmed by CT scan examination and after consultation of a neurologist. 3.4 Bleeding 2.Secondary Efficacy Parameter The Tirofiban strategy results in a better patency of the culprit coronary artery before intervention. 2.1Coronary Angiography All angiography films will be evaluated by an independent core-laboratory (DIAGRAM, Zwolle, the Netherlands), without access to clinical data. | — |
