Myocardial infarction (MI) is a term used for an event of heart attack which is due to formation of plaques in the interior walls of the arteries resulting in reduced blood flow to the heart and injuring heart muscles because of lack of oxygen supply14. Acute myocardial infarction has traditionally been divided into ST elevation or non-ST elevation myocardial infarction; STEMI results from complete and prolonged occlusion of an epicardial coronary blood vessel and is defined based on ECG criteria while NSTEMI usually results from severe coronary artery narrowing, transient occlusion, or microembolization of thrombus and/or atheromatous material, however, therapies are similar between the two, and the overall management of acute myocardial infarction can be reviewed for simplicity. Acute myocardial infarction remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, despite substantial improvements in prognosis over the past decade. The progress is a result of several major trends, including improvements in risk stratification, more widespread use of an invasive strategy, implementation of care delivery systems prioritising immediate revascularisation through percutaneous coronary intervention (or fibrinolysis), advances in anti-platelet agents and anticoagulants, and greater use of secondary prevention strategies such as statins.15 Treating a STEMI is time-sensitive. That means the faster the treatment, the better the chances for a favourable outcome.
