ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI)

Mirvat Alasnag interviews Cesar Herrera, Hadley Wilson & Benny Levenson, principal investigators of the GHATI trial: A two-year report of 4,015 patients enrolled in the American College of Cardiology - Global Heart Attack Treatment Initiative.

Nicola Ryan provides a PICOT analysis of PACMAN AMI: a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial presented at ACC 2022 and simultaneously published in JAMA.

Live updates on a selection of major Late Breaking Clinical Trials of interest in interventional cardiology presented at the American College of Cardiology 2022 Scientific Sessions #ACC22.

In this interview, Mirvat Alasnag asks Shamir R. Mehta about the results of a prespecified analysis of the COMPLETE study which he presented during the ACC 2022 Scientific sessions. 

This current study explored the effect of heavy particle pollution on total cardiovascular admissions, whilst also looking at risk for specific cardiovascular diagnoses, such as angina, myocardial infarction, and ischaemic stroke.

A 70-year-old gentleman with background of hypertension and smoking presented with STEMI. Coronary angiogram showed ectasia in the mid and distal segment with heavy thrombus burden.

This study aimed to increase the power to detect differences in patient survival (freedom from cardiac deaths) with IVUS versus angiography guidance by pooling the individual patient data from the IVUS-XPL and ULTIMATE trials.

In this prespecified subgroup analysis of the TWILIGHT trial, the authors report the impact of prior MI on treatment effects of ticagrelor monotherapy compared to ticagrelor and aspirin in patients at least three months post PCI...

In this session, five challenging STEMI cases are discussed so as to enable you to find out how to manage complex primary PCI in STEMI with multivessel disease (MVD).

Thanks to the 3 presentations proposed in this session, review SCAI classification of cardiogenic shock and appraise the role of MCS in the management of STEMI with cardiogenic shock in the cathlatb.
