Abstract

For the acute myocardial infarction patient, percutaneous coronary intervention is clearly superior to thrombolysis for many clinical end points, yet widespread availability of PCI services is still far from being realised

  • AMI, acute myocardial infarction
  • PCI, percutaneous coronary intervention
  • STEMI, ST elevation myocardial infarction
  • TIMI, thrombolysis in myocardial infarction
  • primary angioplasty
