Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Addresses the need for patients who experience symptoms and signs of an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) to ideally receive treatment within the first hour after the onset of symptoms. After the first hour, the benefit from thrombolytic therapy begins to decline rapidly, although benefit can be derived up to 12 hours after symptom onset. The authors reviewed published research on how patient and bystander (e.g., family, friends, coworkers) factors contribute to the overall delay in receiving care for an AMI. The results of this review of the literature include recommendations for further research and community intervention.

Book excerpt: This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This quick-reference handbook offers a concise and practical review of key aspects of the treatment of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in the era of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). In the context of STEMI, PPCI is the preferred mode of emergency revascularization. Access to PPCI is rapidly increasing and is now routinely practiced in both general and specialist hospitals and there has been a recent emphasis on developing STEMI networks to enhance and expedite the referral pathway. This coupled with concurrent developments to enhance the safety and efficacy of the PPCI procedure has heralded an era where STEMI interventions are increasingly considered an important subspecialty within interventional cardiology. Written by leading cardiologists who have been instrumental in the adoption of PPCI in their respective institutions, the book provides junior and senior cardiologists alike with insightful and thought-provoking tips and tricks to enhance the success of PPCI procedures, which may in turn translate into direct improvements in outcomes. The book is also relevant for healthcare providers and emergency department physicians.
