Abstract
Early reperfusion in STEMI patients by performing immediate percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or thrombolytic therapy is crucial to preserve myocardial function and prevent major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients.
The aim of this study was to compare the current status of reperfusion strategy in STEMI patients in Alexandria university hospitals over one year with 2017 ESC guidelines for the management of STEMI patients.
Patient clinical characteristics, strategy of management and total ischemic time were described including pre-hospital time delay, emergency department time delay and CCU time delay. Procedural aspects and complication were also documented.
Patients were put under observation to detect the occurrence of any in-hospital MACE or other hemodynamic complications. All the patients were followed for one months after discharge by interviewing with the patients via telephone or the responsible physician to determine the clinical outcomes of the procedure.
