However, it must be noticed that this medicine requires rapid and timely administration. Moreover, Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) is increasingly used as a method of revascularization...
متن کاملST-Segment Elevation in Acute Myocardial Infarction

متن کاملFalse Positive ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction
Acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a serious disease in clinical practice. The rapid and accurate diagnosis of this critical illness can lead to prompt reperfusion, and it enables the reduction of cardiac ischemic damage and results in improved subsequent outcomes. The shorter the time to reperfusion, the greater the benefits. The American College of Cardiology/American...
