About this trial

To evaluate the hypothesis that a fast discharge strategy (discharge at 24 \[± 12\] hours) following invasive management for acute myocardial infarction is non-inferior to standard of care (\>36 hours) with respect to the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) during follow-up.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Uncomplicated acute myocardial infarction (NSTEMI and STEMI) diagnosed according to the 2023 acute coronary syndrome guidelines of the ESC

Age ≥ 18 years at time of consent

Invasive management strategy and in case of PCI successful intervention of the culprit lesion defined by post-interventional TIMI 3 flow

Ability to understand and willingness to sign and date written informed consent

Disqualifiers

Myocardial infarction complicated by cardiac arrest (out-of-hospital cardiac arrest/in-hospital cardiac arrest)

PCI-related complications (coronary perforation, side branch closure, inability to deliver stent/balloon, aortic dissection, allergic reaction grade ≥2, stroke/thromboembolism, access site complications including pseudoaneurysm, arteriovenous fistula, retroperitoneal hemorrhage and arterial dissection/occlusion or emboli)

Malignant arrhythmias including sustained ventricular arrhythmias and persistent bradycardia (< 50 beats per minute due to sinus node or atrioventricular conduction system abnormalities, second- /third-degree atrioventricular block) after PCI

Ongoing hemodynamic instability (systolic blood pressure <90 mmHg, elevated lactate concentrations, need for inotropes or vasopressors)

Trial design

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

MACE

MACE is defined as a composite of all-cause death, myocardial re-infarction and unscheduled cardiovascular re-hospitalization.

Time frame
From the date of randomization until the first documented event during the follow-up period (up to 12 months).

Secondary outcomes

1

All cause death

Death from any cause.

Time frame
From the date of randomization until the first documented event during the follow-up period (up to 12 months).
2

Number of participants with myocardial re-infarction

Number of participants experiencing myocardial re-infarction

Time frame
From the date of randomization until the first documented event during the follow-up period (up to 12 months).
3

Number of participants with unscheduled cardiovascular re-hospitalization

Number of participants with unscheduled cardiovascular re-hospitalization

Time frame
From the date of randomization until the first documented event during the follow-up period (up to 12 months).
4

Number of participants with Cardiovascular death

Number of participants experiencing cardiovascular-related death

Time frame
From the date of randomization until the first documented event during the follow-up period (up to 12 months).
