In-hospital prognosis and long-term mortality of STEMI in a reperfusion network. Head to head analisys: invasive reperfusion vs optimal medical therapy

摘要

BackgroundST Segment Elevation Acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) preferred treatment is culprit artery reperfusion with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). We ought to analyze the benefit of early reperfusion vs. optimal medical therapy in STEMI before and after the set-up of a regional STEMI network that prioritizes PPCI.
