Highlights gaps in pre-hospital ACS care; leaves open need for system improvements and prospective trials.
Fatih Sinan Ertaş (2016) conducted an observational in Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) (n=1,034). ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) vs. Unstable angina/non-STEMI (UA/NSTEMI) was evaluated on Acute phase (pre- and in-hospital) antithrombotic management patterns and in-hospital outcomes. Patients with STEMI experienced higher rates of in-hospital hemorrhagic (2.3% vs. 0.8%) and cardiac ischemic complications compared to those with UA/NSTEMI.
