This article reviews the current status of reperfusion strategy in STEMI care and introduces the upcoming China STEMI early reperfusion program to bridge the gap between guidelines and implementation.
This review highlights the need to improve reperfusion rates and standardize treatment for STEMI patients in China through the upcoming China STEMI early reperfusion program.
May support efforts to standardize STEMI reperfusion in China; leaves open the new program's effect on outcomes.
Reperfusion is the key strategy in acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) care, and it is time-dependent. Shortening the time from symptom to reperfusion and choosing the optimal reperfusion strategy for STEMI patients are great challenges in practice. We need to improve upon the problems of low reperfusion rate, non-standardized treatment, and economic burden in STEMI care. This article briefly reviews the current status of reperfusion strategy in STEMI care, and also introduces what we will do to bridge the gap between the guidelines and implementation in the clinical setting through the upcoming China STEMI early reperfusion program.

Zhang et al. (2011) conducted a review in Acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Early reperfusion strategy was evaluated. This article reviews the current status of reperfusion strategy in STEMI care and introduces the upcoming China STEMI early reperfusion program to bridge the gap between guidelines and implementation.
