Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to compare changes in global left ventricular LV function after 3 months of treatment with irbesartan compared with usual care in patients with acute myocardial infarction a wall motion score 13 EF040 and signs of diastolic dysfunction The hypothesis is that an angiotensin 2-receptor inhibitor will improve global left ventricular function
Detailed Description: Study objectives

Primary Objective

To compare the change in global LV function assessed with myocardial performance index MPI after 3 months treatment with irbesartan compared to usual care in patients admitted to hospital with acute myocardial infarction wall motion score index 13 LVEF 040 and MPI 055

Secondary Objectives

To compare irbesartan added to an ACE-inhibitor compared to usual care in patients with AMI WMSI 13 and MPI 055
To compare LV diastolic function assessed by pulse wave and color M-mode Doppler echocardiography and left atrial size after treatment with irbesartan compared to usual care in AMI and

WMSI 13 and MPI 055 and
WMSI 13 and MPI 055
To compare change in WMSI after treatment with irbesartan compared to usual care in patients with AMI and

WMSI 13 and MPI 055 and
WMSI 13 and MPI 055

Tertiary Objectives

To assess the effects of irbesartan versus usual care on neurohormonal activation and glucose metabolism optional

Study Design

A Danish multicenter randomized prospective trial with PROBE-design

Study Drug

Patients will be randomized to receive either irbesartan 300 mg once daily or usual care

Duration of Therapy

Irbesartan 300 mg daily for 3 months after hospital discharge for acute myocardial infarction

Patients should receive standard medical therapy including revascularisation as appropriate

Expected Number of Patients

200 patients with AMI WMSI 13 and MPI 055 100 patients in the irbesartan group and 100 in the usual care group The patients will be included in the analysis of the primary endpoint Further approximately 100 patients with AMI WMSI 13 and MPI 055 treated with an ACE-inhibitor would be part of the secondary endpoints

Main Inclusion Criteria

Patients admitted to hospital with clinical symptoms of acute myocardial infarction andor electrocardiographic signs of AMI and a documented elevation in cardiac markers troponin T or I or elevation of cardiac enzymes creatinine kinase MB
Myocardial performance index MPI 055 determined by echocardiography prior to randomization
Be randomized within 7 days of AMI in or out patient
Written informed consent

Main Exclusion Criteria

Age 18 years
Any contraindications to angiotensin 2-receptor blocker
In patients with WMSI 13 treatment with ACE-inhibitor or angiotensin 2-receptor blockers
In patients with WMSI 13 no initiated or planned treatment with an ACE-inhibitor Treatment with an ACE-inhibitor must be started within 7 days
Pregnancy or women of childbearing potential who are not using an effective method of contraception
Other comorbid conditions that would influence the study
Currently receiving an experimental study-drug

Study Medication

Irbesartan 300 mg once daily which can be reduced to 150 mg at the discretion of the treating physician With a dose less than 150 mg patients will be excluded from analysis

Mode of Administration

The drugs will be given unblinded but with blinded assessment of the endpoints

Evaluation Criteria

Primary Outcome

Change in MPI in patients with WMSI 13 treated with either irbesartan or usual care

Secondary Outcomes

Change in MPI in patients with WMSI 13 on an ACE-inhibitor treated with either irbesartan or usual care
Change in left ventricular diastolic function pulse wave and color M-mode echocardiography and left atrial size in patients with WMSI 13 or 13
Change in LV systolic function WMSI and LVEF in patients with WMSI 13 or WMSI 13

Tertiary Outcomes

Changes in neurohormonal activation and glucose metabolism optional

Definitions of Objectives

Myocardial Performance Index

MPI is calculated as the sum of the isovolumetric relaxation and contraction times divided by ejection time this is measured from mitral inflow and left ventricular outflow recording obtained by pulse wave Doppler echocardiography

LV Diastolic Function

Assessment of mitral inflow curve E- and A-wave and deceleration time of the E-wave
Color M-mode

Assessment of the flow propagation velocity

Left atrial size measured by single plane volume in a four chamber view

Systolic Function

Wall motion score index LV is divided into 16 segments which are scored based on myocardial thickening and endocardial excursion 3 hyperkinesis 2 normokinesis 1 hypokinesis 0 akinesis and -1 paradoxical motion WMSI is calculated by dividing the sum of scores by the number of segments analyzed
LV ejection fraction is obtained by multiplying WMSI by 30

Neurohormonal activation is assessed by pro-NT-BNP and glycemic control is assessed by an oral glucose tolerance test during hospitalisation and after 3 months in patients without known diabetes mellitus optional

Statistical Considerations

Population Analyzed All randomized patients will be in the study for the planned treatment period of 3 months but only patients on 150 mg irbesartan will be analyzed according to the primary endpoint

Sample Size Consideration The primary study objective is to show that irbesartan will improve MPI more than usual care after 3 months treatment in patients with AMI WMSI 13 and MPI 055

Furthermore patients with reduced LV function WMSI 13 and with reduced global LV function MPI 055 will be included in the study and irbesartan will be added to an ACE-inhibitor compared to usual care This patient will be included in the secondary objectives and therefore no sample size estimation has been performed 100 patients are estimated to be enrolled in this study group and will be used for descriptive purposes

It is assumed that MPI has a normal distribution in the study population and from previous populations of patients with AMI it is found that MPIs have a mean value of 055 SD 020 in patients with WMSI 13 based on an estimated change in MPI of 20 in the irbesartan group a total of approximately 200 patients are needed for the study

Duration of Treatment and Observations

Treatment

Patients will receive irbesartan 300 mg daily at least 150 mg per day for 3 months treatment

The primary observation period will be 3 months corresponding to the treatment period but vital status or hospitalisation will be noted after 6 and 12 months
