AI summary: who the study is looking for
From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.
The trial is looking for adults with an uncomplicated heart attack who were treated with an invasive procedure. It tests going home after about 24 hours instead of after more than 36 hours.
- Age
- 18 years or older
- Sex
- All sexes can join.
- Disease stage
- Uncomplicated acute heart attack (NSTEMI or STEMI). If a stent procedure (PCI) was done, the blocked vessel must have been reopened successfully (TIMI 3 flow).
- Earlier treatment
- Must have had an invasive treatment strategy for the heart attack.
Main reasons for not taking part
- Heart attack with cardiac arrest
- Complications from the stent procedure (PCI)
- Dangerous heart rhythm problems or a very slow heartbeat after the procedure
- Unstable blood pressure or breathing, or reduced consciousness
- Pregnancy

Fast Discharge After Acute Myocardial Infarction Discharge MI - A Randomized Multicenter Non Inferiority 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.
Inclusion: 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.
Exclusion: 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 quantitative disorders of consciousness (somnolence, sopor, coma); Acute kidney injury defined by Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) stages 2 and 3; Ongoing hemodynamic instability (systolic blood pressure <90 mmHg, elevated lactate concentrations, need for inotropes or vasopressors); Ongoing respiratory instability defined by Killip class >I (rales, pulmonary edema); Pregnancy; Untreated critical non-culprit lesions requiring revascularization during index hospitalization not allowing fast discharge; Immobility/limited mobility or social circumstances that prevent fast discharge assessed by an interprofessional care team.
