1. GP IIb/IIIa Inhibition in STEMI: Growing Clinical Trial Evidence STEMI continues to be a major public health problem although considerable improvement has occurred in the care of patients.
All patients with STEMI should undergo rapid evaluation for reperfusion therapy, which can be accomplished by pharmacologic (fibrinolysis) or catheter-based (primary PCI) approaches.
The role of GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors as an adjunctive therapy in patients with STEMI who undergo primary PCI is continuing to evolve as evidence from clinical trials increases.STEMI continues to be a major public health problem although considerable improvement has occurred in the care of patients.
