Identification of High-Risk Patients After ST-Segment–Elevation Myocardial Infarction
نویسندگان
چکیده
The prognosis of patients with ST-segment–elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has continued to improve significantly since the introduction of the coronary care units in the 1960s. However, despite the widespread use of effective fibrinolytic and antithrombotic drugs, primary percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI), and shorter ischemic times, because of improved emergency transportation, mortality in STEMI patients remains considerable, with estimates of 7% at 1 month and 15% at 1 year.
