Acute reperfusion therapy in ST-elevation myocardial infarction from 1994-2003.
BACKGROUND Appropriate utilization of acute reperfusion therapy is not a national performance measure for ST-elevation myocardial infarction at this time, and the extent of its contemporary use among ideal patients is unknown. METHODS From the National Registry of Myocardial Infarction, we identified 238,291 patients enrolled from June 1994 to May 2003 who were ideally suited for acute reperf...
متن کاملReperfusion Therapy for ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction
Reperfusion therapy represents an important step forward in the management of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Few medicinal treatments have been evaluated so well. In numerous randomized controlled trials, reperfusion therapy proved to reduce infarct size and improve early and long-term clinical outcome when compared with control treatment. The cornerstones of ...
متن کاملManagement of acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction: Reperfusion options.
Primary percutaneous coronary intervention and thrombolysis remain therapies of choice for patients presenting with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Clinical outcome in the management of acute STEMI is dependent on myocardial reperfusion time and reperfusion strategies. Optimisation of these strategies should take into consideration logistical limitations of the local medical...
متن کاملAcute reperfusion strategies for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.
The overall aim of reperfusion therapy for patients presenting with an ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is to restore normal blood flow in the infarct-related artery as rapidly and completely as possible, and thus myocardial perfusion. This can be achieved by the administration of thrombolytic therapy (either pre-hospital or in hospital) or by primary percutaneous coronary int...
متن کاملStudy of the Duration, Outcomes, and Related Factors of Reperfusion Therapy in Patients with ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction
Background and Objective: One of the most important advancements regarding the care of patients with acute myocardial infarction is the administration of anti-coagulation medicines (e.g., streptokinase). 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...
