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.
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 don t get to PCI within the long-established 90- and 120-minute goals; and the pandemic didn t help.
