Plaque rupture and subsequent thrombus formation account for most acute myocardial infarctions (AMIs). Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is considered the preferred treatment for ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), for evolving non-STEMI (NSTEMI) and for rescue intervention post-thrombolytics.1 The main goals of primary and rescue PCI in AMI include restoration of a normal…

The outcomes of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) have improved in recent years with the more widespread adoption of definitive reperfusion therapies, including rapid recanalisation of the infarct-related artery with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Nonetheless, despite the near universal restoration of normal epicardial flow following primary PCI for STEMI…

The limited information regarding the long-term safety of drug-eluting stents (DES) for the treatment of ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has raised concern regarding its clinical safety, in particular with respect to the associated morbidity and mortality attributed to late stent thrombosis (LST). Observational studies in daily practice have shown that the risk of LST continues…

Abstract
As the treatment of acute myocardial infarction has evolved from conservative management to thrombolysis and, in more recent times, primary angioplasty, the incidence of ventricular rupture, in particular post-infarction ventricular septal defect (VSD), appears to have fallen. In this article we discuss the clinical presentation and investigation of post-infarction VSD, the natural…

Cardiogenic Shock, One of the Unresolved Problems in Cardiology
Provided the patient with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) reaches the hospital, he has a more than 90 % probability to survive.1 However, when cardiogenic shock develops, either initially or in the course of the infarction, only one in two patients is alive one year later.2,3 It really seems that all the progress in the treatment…

Many advances have been made in the management of ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) over the past three decades.1 This is owed to insight into role that thrombus has in the obstruction of the infarct-related artery (IRA) and the subsequent cascade of the myocardial ischaemia, cell oedema and myocardial necrosis. The institution of reperfusion therapy has revolutionised the care of…

Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction
Achieving reperfusion in a timely fashion in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has been established as an effective and life-saving treatment.1–4 This has usually been measured as door-to-balloon time with an established goal of 90 minutes as the time within which reperfusion should be achieved…
