ECG changes indicative of an AMI. • Evolving myocardial infarction has been established as: • Patients with ST segment elevation, i.e. new ST segment elevation at the J point with the cut off points 0.2mV in V1 through V3 and 0.1mV in other leads • or New LBBB • Established myocardial infarction may be defined by: • Q wave in leads V1 through V3, OR • Q wave 0.03s in leads I, II, aVL, aVF, V4, V5, • or V6.

Thrombolysis • Perhaps the most significant advances in the early treatment of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in the last decade are reperfusion therapy (thrombolysis) and angioplasty. • Many clinical trials have established early thrombolytic therapy as a recommended treatment for patients with ST-segment elevation or new Left Bundle Branch Block. • Although thrombolysis is not without risk, the benefits, in terms of lives saved, far outweigh these risks.

Contraindications and Cautions for Fibrinolysis in STEMI • Any prior intracranial hemorrhage • Known structural cerebral vascular lesion (e.g., arteriovenous malformation) • Known malignant intracranial neoplasm (primary or metastatic) • Ischemic stroke within 3 months EXCEPT acute ischemic stroke within 3 hours Absolute Contraindications NOTE: Age restriction for fibrinolysis has been removed compared with prior guidelines.
Contraindications and Cautions for Fibrinolysis in STEMI Absolute Contraindications • Suspected aortic dissection • Active bleeding or bleeding diathesis (excluding menses) • Significant closed-head or facial trauma within 3 months
Contraindications and Cautions for Fibrinolysis in STEMI Relative Contraindications • History of chronic, severe, poorly controlled hypertension • Severe uncontrolled hypertension on presentation (SBP > 180 mm Hg or DBP > 110 mm Hg) • History of prior ischemic stroke greater than 3 months, dementia, or known intracranial pathology not covered in contraindications • Traumatic or prolonged (> 10 minutes) CPR or major surgery (< 3 weeks)
Contraindications and Cautions for Fibrinolysis in STEMI Relative Contraindications • Recent (< 2 to 4 weeks) internal bleeding • Noncompressible vascular punctures • For streptokinase: prior exposure (> 5 days ago) or prior allergic reaction to these agents • Pregnancy • Active peptic ulcer • Current use of anticoagulants: the higher the INR, the higher the risk of bleeding
Reperfusion Options for STEMI PatientsStep 1: Select Reperfusion Treatment. If presentation is < 3 hours and there is no delay to an invasive strategy, there is no preference for either strategy. • Fibrinolysis generally preferred • Early presentation ( ≤ 3 hours from symptom onset and delay to invasive strategy) • Invasive strategy not an option • Cath lab occupied or not available • Vascular access difficulties No access to skilled PCI lab • Delay to invasive strategy • Prolonged transport Door-to-balloon more than 90 minutes • > 1 hour vs fibrinolysis (fibrin-specific agent) now
Reperfusion Options for STEMI PatientsStep 2: Select Reperfusion Treatment. If presentation is < 3 hours and there is no delay to an invasive strategy, there is no preference for either strategy. • Invasive strategy generally preferred • Skilled PCI lab available Door-to-balloon < 90 minutes • High Risk from STEMI Cardiogenic shock, Killip class ≥ 3 • Contraindications to fibrinolysis, including increased risk of bleeding and ICH • Late presentation > 3 hours from symptom onset • Diagnosis of STEMI is in doubt

Primary PCI for AMI • 1977- first PCI (Gruntzig) • 1979- first primary PCI (Rentrop P et al.) • 2003-metaanalysis of 23 randomized trials: superiority of primacy PCI compared to thrombolysis • Pivotal studies: PAMI (1993), GUSTO IIb(1997), DANAMI 2 (1997) PRAGUE 1&2(2000,2003) etc.
