Urban and rural implementation of pre-hospital diagnosis and direct referral for primary percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction [PDF]
Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the preferred treatment for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The distance to primary PCI centres and the inherent time delay in delivering primary PCI, however, limit widespread use of this ...

The design and rationale of the primary angioplasty registry of Kerala
Background: ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) continues to be a major cause of cardiovascular mortality in Kerala, India. Timely primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the recommended reperfusion strategy for STEMI. There is limited

Infarct burden following multivessel PCI vs. infarct-only PCI in patients with acute STEMI: the Glasgow PRAMI CMR sub-study [PDF]
Background: In the Preventive Angioplasty in Myocardial Infarction trial (PRAMI; ISRCTN73028481), immediate multivessel PCI (MV-PCI) of non-IRA (infarct related artery) lesions in patients with acute ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and ...

Bivalirudin versus unfractionated heparin: a meta-analysis of patients receiving percutaneous coronary intervention for acute coronary syndromes [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) encompasses ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), with generally high thrombus burden and non-ST segment elevation ACS (NSTE-ACS), with lower thrombus burden.
