Reperfusion 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 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...
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 کاملReperfusion times of ST-Segment elevation myocardial infarction in hospitals
OBJECTIVE To investigate the reperfusion time in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in Henan Province, China, and discuss the strategies for shortening that period. METHODS The reperfusion times of 1556 STEMI cases in 30 hospitals in Henan Province were analyzed from January 2008 to August 2012, including 736 cases from provincial hospitals, 462 cases from munici...
متن کاملST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction: reperfusion at any cost?
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is defined as an acute ischaemic insult to the myocardium resulting in myocardial necrosis. ST-segment elevation AMI (STEMI) identifies a condition in which the ischaemic insult is the result of an abrupt cessation of coronary flow due to thrombotic occlusion of a relatively large and proximal branch of the coronary circulation. Early, effective, and persistent...
