Trimetazidine in Myocardial Injury After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Patients With Angina and Diabetes

PROSPECTIVE ANALYSIS BETWEEN TRIMETAZIDINE Versus PLACEBO IN MYOCARDIAL INJURY AFTER PERCUTANEOUS CORONARY INTERVENTION IN PATIENTS WITH INSTANT ANGINA AND DIABETES MELLITUS

Introduction: Recent studies have suggested that trimetazidine may help reduce myocardial damage following percutaneous coronary intervention. However, the evaluation of the potential of this medication in the reduction of myocardial damage in patients with diabetes mellitus and unstable angina, in a prospective and randomized way, has not yet been described. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the use of trimetazidine versus placebo in patients with diabetes mellitus and unstable angina undergoing coronary stent angioplasty. Methodology: For this, a unicentric, randomized, double blind and prospective study will be performed in a comparative manner. Hospital data (test results, medical outcomes, drug dose, complications) of patients will be analyzed for safety and effectiveness. Myocardial damage will be measured by means of ultrasensitive Troponin dosages. Expected results: The use of trimetazidine reduces myocardial damage in patients with diabetes mellitus and unstable angina undergoing coronary stent angioplasty.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Adult men and women aged> 18 years.
• Diagnosis of unstable angina with chest pain at least 2 hours after arrival at the emergency unit.
• Measurement of troponin less than the upper limit of the normality of the method.
• Indication of cardiac catheterization and need for percutaneous coronary intervention with uniarterial stent within 24 hours of admission.
• No known allergy to trimetazidine.
• Prior diagnosis of diabetes mellitus under specific treatment.
• ClCr> 30 mL / min.
• Signed consent form.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Pregnancy.
• Hemodynamic instability (pulmonary congestion / systolic blood pressure less than 90 mmHg).
• SCA with ST elevation or troponin elevation.
• Body mass index greater than 40 kg / m2.
• Use of oral anticoagulant.
• Orotracheal intubation.
• Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction.
• Allergy to iodinated contrast.
• Thoracic trauma in the last 30 days.
• Previous surgical myocardial revascularization.
• Presence of ventricular arrhythmias.
