Reperfusion Therapy for ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction
نویسنده
چکیده
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 reperfusion therapy include both early complete recanalisation of the infarct-related artery and maintained patency over the long term.

Study 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...
