ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI)

Find all the latest content on STEMI published on this website.

Treating STEMI brings into play a series of clinical and organizational protocols in constant evolution. Today, patients presenting with STEMI are best treated by early reperfusion strategies of which primary PCI is the preferred method. Keep up-to-date on the role of adjunctive pharmacotherapy, advances in imaging techniques and the use of invasive imaging and functional assessment. Tools, devices and techniques as well as complications, such as the different types of vascular access or bleeding risk can be found here as well…

Defining together a treatment strategy for calcified CAD in a patient with multivessel disease

20 Jun 2019

This is the case of a 68 year old female patient, autonomous and physically robust. She has been diabetic for 10 years, but without cardio-vascular antecedents. She was admitted for chest pain at rest, lasting around 70 minutes with signs of STEMI in the inferior leads...
