Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary endpoint will be: Size of MI during initial hospitalization as measured by the AUC of CK-MB. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The secondary endpoints of this trial are: - Size of MI during initial hospitalization as measured by the AUC of CK-MB for the subpopulation of patients treated with PCI - The composite endpoint of death, MI and unplanned revascularization at 30 days - The composite endpoint of MI and major haemorrhage - Incidence of major haemorrhage up to 30 days - Incidence of minor haemorrhage up to 30 days - Incidence of individual and composite endpoints at 30 days and 6 and 12 months including recurrent NSTE-ACS - Any revascularisation and/or restenosis (TVR) up to 6 months - Re-hospitalisation because of coronary artery disease (CAD) Several prespecified sub-analyses will be performed. - Time of hospitalization - Hospital costs - Size of MI during initial hospitalization as measured by the AUC of hsTnT - Size of MI during initial hospitalization as measured by the AUC of hsTnT for the subpopulation of patients treated with PCI. - Comparison of left ventricular function will be performed using longitudinal strain measurements as derived by 2D echocardiography - Change in left ventricular function as assessed by using longitudinal strain measurements between the groups will be evaluated. - The specificity of NT-proBNP for MI will be evaluated when using hsTnT samples - The multimarker approach using hsTnT, NT-proBNP and CRP will be evaluated with regard to the prediction of clinical events | — |
