In this article we discuss the clinical presentation and investigation of post-infarction VSD, the natural… View more

Anticoagulants and antiplatelet therapies, and revascularisation/ reperfusion with percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) or surgery are the mainstay of modern treatment of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) with and without ST-segment elevation. In addition, depending on the clinical presentation, thrombolytic therapy may be necessary in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (MI) who… View more
