Why the study?
Cardiovascular disease and STEMI burdens are rapidly rising in LMICs, but focused recommendations tailored to local resources are lacking because direct implementation of Western guidelines is unfeasible.
This consensus document provides tailored, resource-appropriate guidelines for the management of STEMI in low- and middle-income countries, adapting Western guidelines to local realities.

Facilitates resource-appropriate STEMI care in LMICs; extends Western guidelines to address local constraints.
Chandrashekhar et al. (2020) conducted a review in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Resource-appropriate management paradigms was evaluated. A consensus document outlines implementable, resource-appropriate paradigms for managing ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction in low- and middle-income countries.
