Target enrollment:

Participant gender:
All
Summary
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of adenosine on the recovery of myocardial akinesia in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The study is a single-center randomized clinical trial intending to include 90 patients. The objective of the study is to investigate whether treatment with adenosine hastens recovery of myocardial akinesia and improves cardiac function at 48 hours in patients with STEMI.

Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

1. Age >18 years.

2. Anterior STEMI.

3. Symptom duration ≤6 hours

4. Written informed consent obtained - Angiographic Inclusion criteria:

1. Culprit lesion in LAD, major branch of LAD, proximal or mid LCx or proximal or
mid RCA

2. TIMI flow ≤2 in the culprit vessel

-Echocardiographic inclusion criteria:

corresponding to culprit lesion, per bedside visual assessment.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Previous randomization in the study

2. Any of the following contraindications for treatment with adenosine:

1. Known pre-existing atrioventricular block grade ≥2 or sick sinus syndrome in
patients without pacemaker.

2. Known pre-existing elevation of intracranial pressure

3. Treatment with dipyridamole within 24 hours of randomization

4. Systolic blood pressure <80 mm Hg at screening

3. Any concomitant condition resulting in a life expectancy of less than one month

4. Previous myocardial infarction or other cardiac condition resulting in impaired
regional or global systolic function without documented recovery of cardiac function

5. Heart transplant or left ventricular assist device recipient

6. Not suitable in the opinion of the investigator due to severe or terminal comorbidity
with poor prognosis or characteristics that may interfere with adherence to the trial
protocol

7. Pregnancy or woman of childbearing potential who is not sterilized or using a
medically accepted form of contraception -
