Effect of Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone System Genetic Polymorphism on the Pharmacological Effect of Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonists in Patients With Myocardial Infarction

Egypt102 participantsStarted 2022-08-01

Plain-language summary

Early treatment of Myocardial Infarction patients with mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist with help reduces the incidence of cardiac remodeling and development into heart failure. Also studying aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2) and mineralocorticoid receptor (NR3C2) gene polymorphisms in Egyptian Myocardial Infarction patients will help tailor medication therapy and optimize therapeutic effects with the least adverse effects.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.

Inclusion Criteria: * ST- segment elevation patients. * Patients who are candidate for add-on treatment with Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) to improve cardiac remodeling. * Age of 18 years to 80 years. * Written informed consent of the subject to participate in the study. Exclusion Criteria: * Contraindications to Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRA) including: serum potassium \>5.5 mEq/L at initiation; CrCl ≤30 mL/minute; concomitant use of strong CYP3A4 inhibitors; concomitant use with potassium supplements or potassium-sparing diuretics. * Mild-to-severe valvular stenosis or severe (grade III/IV) valvular regurgitation * Pregnant or nursing women. * Non cardiac disorders associated with increased growth factor (e.g., HIV, Alzheimer, Crohn's disease, Cancer, glomerulonephritis, glomerulosclerosis, diabetic nephropathy, muscle atrophy, fibrotic conditions and burns). * Patients with chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (LVEF \<40%).

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
