Sodium Tanshinone IIA Sulfonate in Left Ventricular Remodeling Secondary to Acute Myocardial Infarction

Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine60 enrolled

Overview

Approximately 60 patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction successfully treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention will be enrolled and randomized to receive the sodium tanshinone IIA sulfonate in addition to standard therapy or the same volume/day of normal saline. The primary endpoint is the variation in LV end-diastolic volume index (LVEDVi) assessed with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at baseline and 6 months.

The primary endpoint is to determine whether sodium tanshinone IIA sulfonate could prevent LV remodeling among patients with completely reperfused AMI after PCI, detected by 6 month change in LVEDVi measured using cardiac MRI when compared to placebo. Secondary endpoints will include cardiac MRI measures of variations in microvascular obstruction, defect size, ventricular wall motion score, wall thickening, global LV ejection fraction, ventricular volumes (LV end-systolic/ diastolic volume) and myocardial perfusion during the same interval. Furthermore, the investigators will determine the variation (change from baseline) of biomarkers indicating myocardial fibrosis (PICP, PIIINP, ICTP and MMPs) and NT-ProBNP at 1 and 6 months after AMI. Additional efficacy endpoints will include 6-minute walk test, New York Heart Association functional classification, Seattle Angina Questionnaire score and incidence of cardiovascular events (defined as cardiogenic death, stroke, recurrent myocardial infarction, readmission on account of deterioration of congestive heart failure or unstable angina, target vessel revascularization) at the 6-month follow-up will also be analyzed to evaluate the efficacy of sodium tanshinone IIA sulfonate treatment.

6-minute walk test

A 6-minute walk test measures the distance patients can quickly walk in 6 minutes. (in meters)

Time frame: 6 months

New York Heart Association functional classification

I Cardiac disease, but no symptoms and no limitation in ordinary physical activity, e.g. no shortness of breath when walking, climbing stairs etc. II Mild symptoms (mild shortness of breath and/or angina) and slight limitation during ordinary activity. III Marked limitation in activity due to symptoms, even during less-than-ordinary activity, e.g. walking short distances (20-100 m).Comfortable only at rest. IV Severe limitations. Experiences symptoms even while at rest. Mostly bedbound patients.

Time frame: 6 months

Seattle Angina Questionnaire score

The Seattle Angina Questionnaire is a valid and reliable instrument that measures five clinically important dimensions of health in patients with coronary artery disease (physical limitation, anginal stability, anginal frequency, treatment satisfaction, and disease perception). (in Units on a Scale).
