Noninvasive Assessment of Pulmonary Fluid Levels by Remote Dielectric Sensing Technology to Improve Cardiac InsUfficieney During Ischemia-Reperfusion and Clinical Outcomes in MyocArdiaL Infarction

Más betegség

• Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or other lung diseases that might confound ReDS values
• Patients with a left ventricular assist device or undergoing cardiac transplantation;
• Patients with congenital heart malformations or intrathoracic mass that would affect right lung anatomy;
• Patients with end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis;

Egyéb

• Patient's physical characteristics that prevented the use of the ReDS system (height of <155 or >190 cm; body mass index of <22 or >39 kg/m2)
• Patients whose life expectancy less than 12 months due to noncardiac comorbidities
• Patients who participate in another randomized studies.

• Patients were required to be aged ≥ 18 years and to be hospitalized for a primary diagnosis of AMI,
• AMI patients accompanied by cardiac insufficiency following coronary revascularization, which is characterized by the symptoms and signs of fluid overload, regardless of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and have an N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) concentration of ≥ 400 pg/L or a BNP concentration of ≥ 100 pg/L.
