    1. MI Adjunctive Therapy
  2. Criteria: Myocardial Infarction
    1. ST Elevation 1 mm or more in 2 or more contiguous leads
    2. New Left Bundle Branch Block obscuring ST segments
    3. Presumed new Left Bundle Branch Block
  3. Management: Protocol
    1. Time from Chest Pain onset <12 hours
      1. Start MI Adjunctive Therapy, do not delay reperfusion
      2. Immediate Reperfusion Strategy
        1. Angioplasty with cardiothoracic back-up (preferred)
          1. Goal within 90 minutes of ED arrival
        2. Thrombolytic therapy (if Angioplasty not available)
          1. Goal within 30 minutes of ED arrival
        3. Efficacy: Comparing Angioplasty with Thrombolytic
          1. Similar outcomes and complication rates

Myocardial Infarction (C0027051)

Definition (MSH)NECROSIS of the MYOCARDIUM caused by an obstruction of the blood supply to the heart (CORONARY CIRCULATION).
Definition (CSP)gross necrosis of the myocardium, as a result of interruption of the blood supply to the area.
Definition (NCI)Gross necrosis of the myocardium, as a result of interruption of the blood supply to the area, as in coronary thrombosis.
