Fibrinolysis may widen the time window for primary angioplasty.
Recently published clinical trials have demonstrated superiority of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) over lysis in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treatment. Current practice guidelines have established PPCI as a preferred method of reperfusion in STEMI, as long as it can be performed within 90 min from patient’s first medical contact. However, in the majority of cas...
متن کاملImpact of time to treatment on mortality after prehospital fibrinolysis or primary angioplasty.
Prehospital Fibrinolysis or Primary Angioplasty To the Editor: We read with interest the article by Steg et al,1 which reported that prehospital thrombolysis may be preferable to primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for patients treated within the first 2 hours after symptoms begin. A recent study,2 however, reported the superiority of primary angioplasty over fibrinolysis for patie...
متن کاملTransfer for primary angioplasty: time is important.
Time is Important To the Editor: Dalby et al1 have produced a meta-analysis on the transfer of patients for primary angioplasty versus non-transfer thrombolysis in acute myocardial infarction. Their conclusion from a collaboration of 6 papers is that primary angioplasty is the optimal method of treatment, rather than local thrombolytic therapy, despite delays in transfer times to tertiary refer...
متن کاملVoluntary and Involuntary Movements Widen the Window of Subjective Simultaneity
Forming a coherent percept of an event requires different sensory inputs originating from the event to be bound. Perceiving synchrony aids in binding of these inputs. In two experiments, we investigated how voluntary movements influence the perception of simultaneity, by measuring simultaneity judgments (SJs) for an audiovisual (AV) stimulus pair triggered by a voluntary button press. In Experi...
متن کاملTransfer for primary angioplasty: the importance of time.
Primary angioplasty offers benefits as compared with fibrinolysis for many patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).1 This superiority of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in trials has led to the investigation of transfer strategies that would make PCI more widely available. Such a strategy would regionalize care and divert patients with STEMI to centers with PCI c...
