Abstract
Early administration of reperfusion therapy improves survival in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction by reestablishing coronary blood flow within the occluded infarct-related artery.1 Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is superior to fibrinolytic therapy when performed rapidly by expert teams,2 but its effectiveness may be limited by delays in delivery.3Keywords
