Lead Sponsor:

Deutsches Herzzentrum Muenchen

Conditions:

Myocardial Infarction

Eligibility:

All Genders

18-80 years

Phase:

PHASE3

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether erythropoietin is superior to placebo with respect to left ventricular ejection fraction in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction undergoin...

Detailed Description

Erythropoietin has lately been shown to exert others than merely hematopoietic functions. Due to attenuation of cell apoptosis and necrosis and/or enhancing neovascularisation, erythropoietin could be...
