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…

What every interventional cardiologist should know about new cardiovascular drugs

Hannah McConkey (UK) talks to cardiologist and pharmacologist Atul Pathak (France) about the important changes in recent drug therapy. They discuss the easy-to-use lipid-lowering PCSK9 inhibitors, and ask should cardiologists now be prescribing the new classes of antidiabetic drugs? The key messages in antithrombotic therapy, and how to...
