STEMI Care in India and the Real World: Role of Thrombolysis
نویسنده
چکیده
The principal clinical syndromes that result are acute ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, acute ischemic stroke, acute peripheral arterial occlusion, and occlusion of indwelling catheters. Of these, AMI accounts for maximum number of morbidity and mortality. Over the last century, thrombolytic therapy has gained prominence in the management of STEMI and has helped hundreds of physicians in reanalyzing coronary vessel occlusions. This chapter reviews major milestones in the history of thrombolysis in STEMI.

Cardiovascular disorders are the major cause of concern in India with estimated mortality reaching approximately 64 million by 2015. Though two major treatment options i.e. primary angioplasty (PAMI) and intravenous thrombolysis are available for the management of ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), primary angioplasty is not feasible for majority of STEMI patients in India, hence early...

In ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) the pre-hospital phase is the most critical, as the administration of the most appropriate treatment in a timely manner is instrumental for mortality reduction. STEMI systems of care based on networks of medical institutions connected by an efficient emergency medical service are pivotal. The first steps are devoted to minimize the patient's delay i...

BACKGROUND Regionalized integrated networks for ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) care have been proposed as a step forward in overcoming real-world obstacles, but data are lacking on its performance in developing countries. We describe an integrated regional STEMI network in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. METHODS AND RESULTS The network was created in 2009. It was coordinated by t...
