Time Delay to Treatment and Mortality in Primary Angioplasty for Acute Myocardial Infarction Every Minute of Delay Counts

TL;DR: It is suggested that every minute of delay in primary angioplasty for STEMI affects 1-year mortality, even after adjustment for baseline characteristics, and all efforts should be made to shorten the total ischemic time.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prehospital initiation of tirofiban in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary angioplasty (On-TIME 2): a multicentre, double-blind, randomised controlled trial

TL;DR: The finding that routine prehospital initiation of high-bolus dose tirofiban improved ST-segment resolution and clinical outcome after PCI, emphasises that further platelet aggregation inhibition besides high-dose clopidogrel is mandated in patients with STEMI undergoing PCI.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prognostic Assessment of Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction Treated With Primary Angioplasty Implications for Early Discharge

TL;DR: This score is a practical and useful index for risk stratification after primary angioplasty for STEMI, with a significant impact on clinical decision-making and the related costs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Time-to-treatment significantly affects the extent of ST-segment resolution and myocardial blush in patients with acute myocardial infarction treated by primary angioplasty.

TL;DR: This study shows that in patients with STEMI treated by primary angioplasty prolonged ischaemic time is associated with impaired myocardial perfusion, larger infarct size, and higher 1-year mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prognostic Value of Admission Glycosylated Hemoglobin and Glucose in Nondiabetic Patients With ST-Segment–Elevation Myocardial Infarction Treated With Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

TL;DR: In nondiabetic patients with ST-segment–elevation myocardial infarction, both elevated admission glucose and HbA1c levels were associated with adverse outcome, and measurement of both parameters enables identification of these high-risk groups for aggressive secondary risk prevention.
