Machine Learning for Diagnosis of Occlusive MI in LBBB Patients

This study investigates a new way to diagnose severe heart attacks in patients who have a specific electrical heart pattern called a Left Bundle Branch Block (LBBB). When patients present to the emergency department with chest pain, doctors routinely perform an electrocardiogram (ECG) to check for a heart attack. However, the presence of an LBBB can alter the heart's electrical signals on the ECG, effectively masking or hiding the typical signs of an ongoing acute coronary occlusion (a completely blocked artery). This making it highly challenging for emergency physicians to make an accurate and rapid diagnosis. The primary purpose of this prospective and observational research is to develop and evaluate an artificial intelligence/machine learning (ML) model that can analyze digital 12-lead ECG signals to accurately predict a true blocked coronary artery in patients with LBBB. The machine learning model will analyze raw digital ECG waveforms to detect subtle, microscopic patterns that might be missed by the human eye. To confirm the accuracy of the model, its predictions will be compared directly with invasive coronary angiography results, which is the gold standard reference method used to visualize blocked vessels. Additionally, the study aims to evaluate if the model can differentiate between a true heart attack caused by a blocked artery (Type 1 MI) and other non-occlusive conditions that cause elevated heart enzymes (Type 2 MI). Ultimately, the investigators intend to determine whether integrating this machine learning tool into emergency care can safely reduce the rate of unnecessary emergency invasive procedures for patients who do not have a true coronary blockage.

Recombinant Human Thymosin Beta 4 for Injection(NL005) for Acute Myocardial Infarction

The goal of this phase IIc clinical trial is to learn if recombinant human thymosin beta 4 injection (NL005) works to treat heart damage in people who have had a serious type of heart attack called ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and have been treated with emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI, a procedure to open the blocked artery). It will also learn about the safety of NL005. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does NL005 lower the size of permanent heart muscle damage measured by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) scan 90 days after treatment? * What medical problems do participants have when taking NL005? Researchers will compare two different doses of NL005 to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see if NL005 works better to reduce heart damage caused by the heart attack. Participants will: * Receive NL005 or placebo through a vein within 4 hours after the PCI procedure, then once a day for 7 days * Stay in the hospital for the first week for monitoring, blood draws, and electrocardiograms (heart tracings) * Have a CMR scan on Day 6 and Day 90 to measure the size of the heart injury * Return to the hospital for checkups on Day 30 and Day 90 * Be contacted by the study team (by phone or online) 3 times during the first year and come back to the hospital on Day 360 to check long-term recovery

Non-stenting Treatment Strategy for Acute Myocardial Infarction With Non-severe Stenosis(EROSION IV)

This study is a prospective, multicenter, open-label, non-inferiority, randomized controlled trial. A total of 2,000 patients with STEMI (\<24 hours or 7-14 days) or NSTEMI will be recruited from at least 20 centers in China. Eligible patients must have residual DS \< 70% at the culprit lesion assessed by QCA, with optional thrombus aspiration, and TIMI flow of grade 3. Patients will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to the experimental group or the control group. The planned enrollment period is 36 months, and all patients will be followed up for at least 12 months after randomization, with continued follow-up until the end of the study. The primary outcome is the first occurrence of TLF after randomization, defined as the composite of cardiovascular death, target vessel myocardial infarction, ischemia-driven target lesion revascularization. The study aims to verify whether guideline-recommended standard medical therapy is non-inferior to DES implantation combined with guideline-recommended standard medical therapy in AMI patients with non-severe coronary artery stenosis. A total of 120 participants (60 in the experimental group and 60 in the control group) enrolled at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University were included in the functional substudy. Using Abbott Pressure Wire™X pressure wire test functional indicators, and explore the incidence of coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) as assessed by the index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) in two groups, and its impact on the rate of the composite endpoint of all-cause death and heart failure readmission occurring for the first time within 12 months.

Treatment With Aspirin Alone Versus Aspirin in Combination With Fondaparinux Before Early Coronary Assessment in Patients With Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction

The main goal of this study is to compare two treatments in patients with a specific type of heart attack called Non-ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI). The investigators want to find out whether using aspirin alone is as effective and safer than using aspirin together with a second blood thinner called fondaparinux. Both treatments will be given before a scheduled heart procedure called coronary angiography (CAG), which may include balloon dilation and stent placement (PCI) if needed. The current guidelines recommend using aspirin in combination with a second blood thinner like fondaparinux before CAG and possible PCI. However, these recommendations are based on studies from the 1990s, a time when invasive procedures were not standard practice for these patients. In contrast, nearly all patients with NSTEMI in Denmark (96%) now undergo CAG within 72 hours. This change in practice raises questions about whether the older studies still provide a valid foundation for today's guidelines. The study aims to answer two questions: 1. Is aspirin alone as effective as aspirin combined with fondaparinux before early CAG and possible PCI? 2. Is aspirin alone safer, with a lower risk of severe bleeding, compared to the combination treatment? To answer these questions, the investigators will enroll about 5,000 patients with NSTEMI. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either aspirin alone or aspirin with fondaparinux. The investigators will monitor them for 30 days to compare outcomes such as death, new heart attacks, the need for urgent CAG before the scheduled, and severe bleeding.

Coronary and Myocardial Evaluation by Cardiac CT for Acute Myocardial Infarction

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remains a major cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Although percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) combined with guideline-directed medical therapy has substantially improved survival, many patients continue to experience adverse cardiovascular events after revascularization, including recurrent ischemic events, heart failure, and malignant arrhythmias. Therefore, accurate risk stratification after PCI is essential for optimizing clinical management and improving long-term outcomes. However, currently available risk prediction tools are limited by suboptimal predictive performance or restricted clinical accessibility. Cardiac imaging plays a central role in post-AMI evaluation. Echocardiography is routinely recommended after PCI to assess cardiac structure and function and to exclude early mechanical complications. Nevertheless, its ability to predict subsequent ventricular remodeling and long-term clinical outcomes is limited. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) is considered the reference standard for myocardial tissue characterization and provides important prognostic markers such as infarct size, microvascular obstruction, and intramyocardial hemorrhage. However, the routine use of CMR in patients with AMI is constrained by limited availability, high cost, and relatively long examination time. In addition, CMR does not directly evaluate coronary artery anatomy or plaque characteristics, which are important determinants of recurrent ischemic events. Recent advances in cardiac computed tomography (CT) have enabled comprehensive assessment of coronary artery disease. Beyond evaluating coronary stenosis, coronary CT angiography can identify high-risk plaque features associated with plaque vulnerability. Furthermore, emerging CT-based techniques allow simultaneous assessment of coronary physiology, perivascular inflammation, myocardial structure and function, and myocardial tissue characteristics. CT-derived fractional flow reserve (CT-FFR) enables noninvasive functional assessment of coronary lesions, while the fat attenuation index (FAI) reflects pericoronary inflammatory activity. In addition, delayed iodine enhancement and dual-energy CT techniques allow evaluation of myocardial injury and fibrosis, and CT-derived extracellular volume fraction (ECV) provides quantitative assessment of myocardial fibrosis. These advances suggest that multimodal cardiac CT may provide an integrated imaging approach for comprehensive risk assessment after AMI. The COMET-AMI study (Coronary and Myocardial Evaluation by Multimodal Cardiac CT in Acute Myocardial Infarction) is a prospective, multicenter cohort study designed to evaluate the prognostic value of multimodal cardiac CT in patients with AMI after PCI. A total of 1,000 patients with AMI undergoing successful PCI will be prospectively enrolled. All participants will undergo multimodal cardiac CT within 7 days after PCI to assess coronary plaque characteristics, coronary physiology, pericoronary adipose tissue inflammation, cardiac structure and function, and myocardial tissue features. A subset of participants will also undergo cardiac magnetic resonance imaging for validation of CT-derived myocardial tissue parameters. Comprehensive clinical information, including demographic characteristics, cardiovascular risk factors, medication history, laboratory biomarkers, and procedural data, will be collected. Quantitative and qualitative analyses of coronary plaques will be performed using dedicated software to assess plaque burden, plaque composition, remodeling characteristics, and high-risk plaque features. Additional CT-derived parameters such as CT-FFR, myocardial strain, pericoronary fat attenuation index, and extracellular volume fraction will also be analyzed. Participants will be followed longitudinally through outpatient visits, telephone interviews, and electronic medical record review for up to five years after PCI. The primary outcomes include composite thrombotic events (cardiac death, recurrent myocardial infarction, and urgent or clinically driven revascularization). Secondary outcomes include heart failure and major arrhythmic events such as new-onset heart failure, sustained ventricular arrhythmia, implantable cardioverter-defibrillator implantation, sudden cardiac death, or resuscitated cardiac arrest. All clinical events will be independently adjudicated by a blinded clinical events committee. Using multimodal cardiac CT-derived imaging biomarkers in combination with clinical and laboratory data, machine learning-based predictive models will be developed to identify key determinants of adverse outcomes after PCI in patients with AMI. The results of this study may provide a novel imaging-based risk stratification strategy and facilitate personalized management for patients with AMI after PCI.

ARTEMIS - A Research Study to Look at How Ziltivekimab Works Compared to Placebo in People With a Heart Attack

The research study is being done to see if ziltivekimab can be used to treat people who were admitted to hospital because of a heart attack. Ziltivekimab might reduce development of heart disease, thereby preventing new heart attacks or strokes. Participants will either get ziltivekimab (active medicine) or placebo (a dummy medicine which has no effect on the body). Which treatment participants get is decided by chance. The chance of getting ziltivekimab or placebo is the same. The participant will need to inject the study medicine into a flat skin surface in there stomach, thigh, or upper arm once every month. Ziltivekimab is not yet approved in any country or region in the world. It is a new medicine that doctors cannot prescribe. The study will last for about 2 years.

Construction and Analysis of a Risk Prediction Model for Acute Myocardial Infarction Based on Spatiotemporal Heterogeneous Data

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI), as the leading cause of death among cardiovascular diseases, has its diagnosis and treatment efficiency directly affecting survival. Although the current diagnosis and treatment system has significantly improved in-hospital outcomes, delays in seeking medical care due to patients' insufficient awareness and out-of-hospital deaths are common, representing the biggest bottleneck in improving diagnostic and treatment capabilities. This study takes intelligent-assisted diagnosis of AMI as the entry point and proposes a technical approach that combines a deep learning algorithm based on 12-lead electrocardiograms with wearable monitoring devices. By utilizing morphological feature extraction and deep learning models, it aims to achieve early identification and warning of AMI. The study plans to build a multi-center AMI long-term follow-up cohort covering the Beijing area based on spatiotemporal heterogeneous data. By integrating and forming a precise high-risk cohort of 3,000 acute myocardial infarction cases, it seeks to construct an AMI risk prediction model that combines deep learning with a retrieval-augmented generative expert system, breaking through bottlenecks in ECG recognition and temporal prediction, enhancing model generalization and transferability. Ultimately, it will support the application of wearable devices, shorten pre-hospital delays, achieve early warning and precise diagnosis of AMI, reduce reinfarction and cardiac-related mortality, and carry significant clinical and public health importance.

Prospective Lifespan Cohort of Myocardial Infarction

This prospective cohort study aims to establish a lifespan cohort of myocardial infarction and build a standardized, multidimensional, and shareable disease-specific database by systematically integrating clinical phenotypes, multi-omics data, and longitudinal follow-up information. Based on artificial intelligence and multi-omics integration, the study further seeks to develop a precision prevention and control framework for acute myocardial infarction covering the full continuum from early risk warning and accurate diagnosis to individualized treatment and long-term risk management. The study will enroll adults aged 18 to 74 years, including two major populations: individuals at high risk of acute myocardial infarction, such as those with stable or unstable angina, and patients with confirmed acute myocardial infarction diagnosed according to the Fourth Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction. Biospecimens, including venous blood, urine, and feces, will be collected, and participants will undergo standardized baseline assessment and follow-up. The primary outcome is all-cause mortality during follow-up. Secondary outcomes include cardiovascular death, recurrent myocardial infarction, readmission due to heart failure, revascularization, stroke, stent thrombosis, and severe bleeding. This study is expected to provide scientific evidence and technical support for precision prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of myocardial infarction.

Effects of Ziltivekimab on Coronary Atherosclerotic Burden in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction

Despite improvements in the treatment, coronary artery disease (CAD) remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Around 20% of people who have suffered a heart attack (myocardial infarction) need to be hospitalized again within a year, and 10% experience another heart attack. Despite currently available medication, patients remain at risk of further episodes after a heart attack. Scientists have discovered that inflammation in the body plays a decisive role in the development and narrowing of arterial blockages (atherosclerosis). This study aims to investigate whether a new treatment that reduces inflammation can help improve the arteries of patients with CAD. This study will examine whether blocking certain inflammation-related substances with a new medicinal product called ziltivekimab affects the buildup and composition of plaques (fatty deposits) in the coronary arteries. Special imaging diagnostic techniques will be used to look inside the arteries and check whether the treatment helps reduce the narrowing caused by dangerous plaques, which can lead to future heart attacks. This is a clinical study in which participants are randomly divided into two groups (randomization): one group will receive the new treatment ziltivekimab and other group will receive a placebo (a harmless substance with no active ingredients). Both groups will continue to receive standard treatment for heart attacks. The study lasts approximately 15 months per participant. The full scientific title of the trial is: Effects of ziltivekimab versus placebo on coronary atherosclerosis in patients with acute myocardial infarction. A study with serial multi-vessel imaging obtained using intravascular ultrasound, near-infrared spectroscopy, and optical coherence tomography techniques.

IABP for MI-VSD Patients in SCAI SHOCK Stage B

Ventricular septal defect (MI-VSD) is a serious mechanical complication of acute myocardial infarction, with an extremely high mortality. Intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) is still the most easily available mechanical assistive device for clinical management, and it has become a bridge to surgical repair. IABP-SHOCK II trial is currently the largest randomized controlled trial (RCT) related to the use of IABP among patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) complicated by cardiogenic shock (CS), the trial found that IABP had a negative impact on 30-day, 1-year, and 6-year all-cause mortality. However, the trial included patients with typical cardiogenic shock (shock stages C-E, SCAI definition criteria), most of whom had severely inadequate microcirculatory perfusion, limiting the effectiveness of IABP treatment. There is still no clinical study on the usage of IABP in MI-VSD patients with early-stage CS. The main objective of this study is to assess the correlation between the utilization of IABP and 30-day mortality rates among MI-VSD patients with early-stage CS. The investigators will also follow up on the long-term prognosis of these patients. The investigators will enroll multicenter patients with MI-VSD who are at the onset of cardiogenic shock (SCAI SHOCK stage B) to explore the impact of IABP support on the prognosis of these patients. This prospective, multicenter, randomized, open-label, parallel-group controlled study will involve 100 participants who are diagnosed with MI-VSD complicated by SCAI SHOCK stage B in about 5 centers. After reviewing the inclusion criteria, participants will be randomized to two groups (Early-CS-IABP group and Control group) in a ratio of 1:1. The primary outcome is all-cause mortality within 30 days after MI-VSD. The investigators will also observe 6-month and 1-year all-cause mortality after MI-VSD. The investigators speculated that IABP could significantly improve the clinical outcomes of patients with MI-VSD if it could be used in the early stage of cardiogenic shock.

Safety and Efficacy of MiSaver (CB Cells) for Acute Myocardial Infarction, Phase II

This trial is a Phase II, multicenter clinical study. The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of MiSaver, a cellular therapy product, in patients who have experienced an acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Specifically, the study aims to assess the improvement in left ventricular function of the heart following the administration of MiSaver, as well as to determine the safety of using stem cell therapy in these patients. This trial will employ a single-blind design (subject-blinded), meaning that the participants will not be aware of whether they are receiving MiSaver or standard treatment, while the researchers will have this information. This design helps ensure transparency and adherence to ethical standards while also providing valuable clinical insights. By utilizing randomization, we can enhance the reliability and comparability of the study results. A portion of the participants will receive MiSaver, while the others will undergo standard treatment. This allows for a direct comparison of the two therapeutic approaches to determine their respective efficacy. The primary objective of this trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of MiSaver, in the treatment of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). To achieve this, we will collect comprehensive participant data, including assessments of cardiac function, records of cardiac events, and quality-of-life surveys. By analyzing these data, we aim to gain a deeper understanding of the benefits and limitations of this treatment approach.

Very Early PCSK9 Inhibition for Acute Myocardial Infarction

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality, particularly in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease. Although primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has significantly improved short-term outcomes, these patients remain at high risk of recurrent cardiovascular events due to vulnerable non-culprit plaques. Coronary imaging techniques such as intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), optical coherence tomography (OCT), and angiography-derived indices (QFR, RWS) can identify high-risk lesions, but the optimal management strategy is still debated. Early and intensive lipid-lowering therapy has been shown to stabilize atherosclerotic plaques. PCSK9 monoclonal antibodies, in combination with statins, provide rapid and profound LDL-cholesterol reduction and may enhance plaque stabilization beyond standard therapy. Small imaging studies suggest favorable effects of PCSK9 inhibitors on fibrous cap thickness and lipid burden, but their impact on clinical outcomes in AMI patients with multivessel disease remains uncertain. This study aims to evaluate whether very early in-hospital administration of a PCSK9 inhibitor, in addition to standard care, can reduce major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) over 12 months compared with standard lipid-lowering therapy alone. The trial will also explore imaging-based markers of plaque vulnerability and functional indices as secondary endpoints, in order to better understand the mechanisms linking lipid lowering, plaque stabilization, and clinical outcomes.

Using Advanced CT Scans and Blood Markers to Better Understand Heart Damage and Recovery After a Heart Attack

Acute myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation (STEMI) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Although advances in reperfusion therapy have reduced early mortality, many patients later develop adverse ventricular remodeling (AVR), which increases the risk of heart failure and cardiovascular death. Current imaging methods, such as echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), provide valuable prognostic information but have limitations in availability, cost, and their ability to predict AVR early and individually. Spectral computed tomography (CT) is an emerging imaging technique that can characterize myocardial tissue, quantify infarct size, assess microvascular obstruction, and detect complications, with lower contrast and radiation requirements compared to conventional CT. In parallel, circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) have been identified as stable and non-invasive biomarkers that reflect key biological processes in post-infarction remodeling. Several miRNAs are linked to fibrosis, apoptosis, and ventricular remodeling, suggesting their potential to complement imaging findings in risk prediction. This study proposes a multicenter, prospective cohort of patients with STEMI and reduced left ventricular function to evaluate whether combining spectral CT tissue characterization with serum miRNA profiling can improve early prediction of AVR. The main objective is to generate and validate a multiparametric prognostic model integrating imaging and molecular biomarkers to identify high-risk patients who may benefit from closer monitoring and tailored therapeutic strategies.

One-hoUr Troponin Using a High-sensitivity Point-Of-Care Assay in Emergency Primary Care

Acute chest pain is a prevalent medical emergency in primary emergency care settings. Triage of chest pain prior to hospital admission presents significant challenges due to the absence of sufficiently sensitive diagnostic tools. Clinical signs, symptoms, risk assessment scores, or a normal electrocardiogram (ECG) can reliably exclude acute myocardial infarction (MI). This diagnostic uncertainty has resulted in chest pain being the second most common cause for acute hospital referrals from Norwegian emergency primary care, even though chest pain is frequently non-cardiac in origin. In acute MI events, cardiac troponins are released into the bloodstream from the damaged myocardium, where low values are used to exclude MI. Until recently, such testing has necessitated using high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) assays, which have been limited to hospital laboratories. However, recent technological advancements in point-of-care (POC) testing allow access to whole-blood assays that meet high-sensitivity criteria. In this upcoming project, the investigators will evaluate the implementation of a whole-blood POC assay (QuidelOrtho TriageTrue hs-cTnI) across six Norwegian emergency primary care clinics. The study plans to enrol 2,500 patients over a period of 1.5 years. The clinical performance of the novel strategy will be investigated, as well as its impact on healthcare utilization and hospital referrals compared to standard care. Additionally, the investigators will assess the prevalence of persistent chest pain and its effects on quality of life, alongside psychological stress and anxiety, through validated questionnaires. This project aims to offer better and more comprehensive management of the large group of emergency primary care patients with acute chest pain, contributing to reduced hospital referrals, improved quality of life, and more sustainable use of healthcare services.

Efficacy and Safety of Shexiang Baoxin Pill(MUSKARDIA) in the Treatment of Acute Myocardial Infarction

This study aims to evaluate the value of Shexiang Baoxin Pill (MUSKARDIA) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) through a prospective, multicenter, pragmatic randomized controlled real-world study. It seeks to validate its efficacy in reducing cardiovascular event risk during the peri-PCI period, as well as its effects on cardiac function, quality of life , and relevant biomarkers. Through this research, we expect to provide higher-quality evidence for the application of SBP in AMI patients undergoing PCI, thereby further optimizing comprehensive treatment strategies for AMI.

The Effect of Cardiac Rehabilitation on Left Ventricular Remodeling in Patients Undergoing Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Acute Myocardial Infarction

Cardiac rehabilitation has proven to improve the functional capacity of patients who had acute myocardial infarction. However, its effect on Left ventricular remodeling following an MI event treated with Primary PCI is not yet fully understood. So, for this randomized controlled trial our objectives are as follows: * Primary: To assess the effect of a structured CR program on LV remodeling parameters (LVEF, LVESV, LVEDV, LVESD, LVEDD + SWMA) in STEMI patients treated with primary PCI. * Secondary: To evaluate changes in exercise capacity, heart rate recovery and clinical outcomes such as major adverse cardiovascular events and the effect of CR on the patients' Quality of Life. These results will be compared to the same parameters in a control group that will not undergo cardiac rehabilitation to properly assess the effect of cardiac rehab. Participants in the intervention group will be asked to undergo a supervised CR program based on published guidelines (FITT principle). The core will be a moderate-intensity aerobic exercise regimen (e.g. treadmill or cycle ergometer) 2-3 times per week for 12 weeks. Each session will last \~20-60 minutes of exercise followed by cool-down, with intensity gradually increased to High intensity interval training (HIIT) in low-moderate risk individuals, as it has shown better improvement in cardiovascular health while being safe in MI patients. Resistance exercises (e.g. light weights or band exercises) will also be included twice weekly. Exercise dose (frequency, intensity, time) will be tracked. Physical therapists will supervise all sessions in an outpatient CR facility or affiliated gym. Patients' vitals and ECG will be monitored during initial sessions for safety.

Multimodal Imaging Assessment After Revascularization in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction

This prospective cohort study will enroll 20 patients clinically diagnosed with first-time acute myocardial infarction (AMI) who underwent interventional procedures (including percutaneous coronary intervention \[PCI\] and balloon angioplasty) at the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University. Patient data, including routine blood and urine tests, blood biochemistry, electrocardiograms (ECG), imaging studies, and interventional procedure records, will be collected to assess eligibility for enrollment. The study procedures include patient screening and enrollment, obtaining informed consent, baseline assessment (including medical history, laboratory tests, ECG, etc.), an ¹⁸F-Pentixafor PET/MR examination, and follow-up. Images will be blindly assessed by at least two specialized physicians from the Radiology and Nuclear Medicine departments. The study aims to investigate the utility of ¹⁸F-Pentixafor PET/MR in evaluating coronary microcirculatory function, cardiac function, myocardial viability, myocardial inflammatory response, and the efficacy of interventional therapy in AMI patients post-procedure. Additionally, it will perform risk stratification and prognostic analysis for the enrolled patients.
