Background: Hydrogen gas inhalation (HI) reduced infarct size and mitigated adverse left ventricular (LV) remodeling in a rat model of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We designed a prospective, open-label, rater-blinded clinical pilot study in patients experiencing ST-elevated MI (STEMI).Methods and Results: The 20 patients with an initial diagnosis of STEMI were assigned to either an HI group (1.3% H-2 with 26% oxygen) or a control group (26% oxygen). There were no HI-related severe adverse events. In the full analysis set, the cardiac salvage index as evaluated using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging at 7 days after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), showed no significant between-group difference (HI: 50.0 +/- 24.3%; control: 60.1 +/- 20.1%; P= 0.43). However, the improvement from day 7 in the HI group was numerically greater than that in the control group in some of the surrogate outcomes at 6-month follow-up, including the LV stroke volume index (HI: 9.2 +/- 7.1 mL/m(2); control: -1.4 +/- 7.2 mL/m(2); P= 0.03) and the LV ejection fraction (HI: 11.0%+/- 9.3%; control: 1.7%+/- 8.3%; P= 0.11).Conclusions: The first clinical study has shown that HI during PCI is feasible and safe and may also promote LV reverse remodeling at 6 months after STEMI. The study was not powered to test efficacy and a further large-scale trial is warranted.
