T Segment Elevation Mi News Today

An artificial intelligence electrocardiography app cut catheterization lab activation times by 9 minutes in ST-elevation myocardial infarction patients.

STEMI patients taking the traditional Chinese medicine Tongxinluo, containing extracts of multiple plants and insects, had fewer MIs, strokes, and other events in the randomized CTS-AMI trial.

The randomized RIGHT trial, testing 48 hours of post-PCI anticoagulation in STEMI patients, failed to document either benefit or increased risk.

In Denmark, 1-year mortality after percutaneous coronary intervention for STEMI was reduced by about 30% from 2003 to 2018; most of the reduction was seen within the first 30 days after the procedure.

The guideline task force says STEMI and non-ST elevation ACS represent a spectrum, and after the initial triage and management decisions, most of the remaining care follows a common pathway.

MULTISTARS-AMI may be the first trial of its kind to show that operators and patients can safely choose either strategy and attain similar outcomes.

Aspirin is typically given after PCI for acute coronary syndrome but can lead to major bleeding. Colchicine appears to be safer and may be equally efficacious, pilot data suggest.

Income-based disparities in care and outcomes for patients with acute MI are seen around the world, despite vastly different healthcare and social safety net systems, a new study shows.

Survival and treatment times are closely linked in STEMI patients, but many still dont get to PCI within the long-established 90- and 120-minute goals; and the pandemic didnt help.

The document provides a new structure to address the challenges of rapid chest pain evaluation in the emergency department and reduce dwell times.
