What is Golden hour? First one hour of heart attack is very crucial period for the management. Because the mortality and morbidity are highest during the first hour.
SPECTRUM OF ACUTE CORONARY SYNDROME
DEFINITION STEMI is a clinical syndrome defined by characteristic symptoms of myocardial ischemia in association with persistent electrocardiographic (ECG) ST elevation and subsequent release of biomarkers of myocardial necrosis.
LEVINE SIGN This is the universal sign of distress in angina pectoris and myocardial infarction. It is clenching of the fist in front of chest while describing the chest discomfort. This pain last more than 20 minutes.

Risk Stratification Five simple baseline parameters have been reported to account for > 90% of the prognostic information for 30-day mortality. These characteristics are given in descending order of importance: Age Systolic blood pressure Killip classification Heart rate Location of MI In addition, various risk models have been created to improve risk prediction.

STEMI Management Outline
REPERFUSION THERAPY Prompt and effective reperfusion therapy is the cornerstone for treatment of STEMI Selection of reperfusion depends on chance of achieving early and persistent reperfusion with lowest risk of major complications Guideline recommendation: Should be administered to all eligible patients with STEMI with symptoms onset within the prior 12 hours(Class 1; LOE: A) 12-24 hours for patient with ongoing ischemia (Class IIa; LOE: B) DiPiro J. Acute Coronary Syndrome. In: Pharmacotherapy: A Pathophysiological Approach, 2011
TYPES OF REPERFUSION Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PPCI) Fibrinolytics Balloon angiography 1. Strptokinase 2. Alteplase Placement of intracoronary stent: Bare-metal stent (BMS) Reteplase Tenecteplase Drug-eluting stent (DES) O’Gara PT et al . Circulation ; 2013; 127

PPCI >>> FIBRINOLYTICS Greatest survival benefit in high risk patient Higher rates of infarct artery patency with TIMI 3 flow (90%-PCI vs. <60%-fibrinolysis) Reduction in recurrent ischemia/reinfarction 30-day mortality reduction (6.5% to 4.4%) Reduction in stroke (2.0% to 0.7%) Reduced risk of bleeding Van De Wefr F. et al.

Indications for Fibrinolytic Therapy When There Is a >120-Minute Delay From FMC to Primary PCI
Adjunctive Anticoagulant Therapy Patients with STEMI undergoing reperfusion with fibrinolytic therapy should receive anticoagulant therapy for a minimum of 48 hours, and preferably for the duration of the index hospitalization, up to 8 days or until revascularization if performed. Recommended Regimen : UFH adm. as a weight-adjusted intravenous bolus and infusion to obtain an aPTT time of 1.5 to 2.0 times control, for 48 hours or until revascularization.(COR IC) Enoxaparin adm. a/c to age, weight, and creatinine clearance, given as an i.v bolus, followed in 15 min. by s/c inj. for the duration of the index hospitalization, up to 8 days or until revascularization; or
Continue….. Fondaparinux administered with initial i.v dose, followed in 24 hrs by daily s/c inj. if the estimated creatinine clearance is greater than 30 mL/min, for the duration of the index hospitalization, up to 8 days or until revascularization. Enoxaparin: ● If age 75 y: 30-mg IV bolus, followed in 15 min by 1 mg/kg subcutaneously every 12 h (maximum 100 mg for the first 2 doses) ● If age> 75 y: no bolus, 0.75 mg/kg subcutaneously every 12 h (maximum 75 mg for the first 2 doses) ● Regardless of age, if CrCl 30 mL/min: 1 mg/kg subcutaneously every 24 h ● Duration: For the index hospitalization, up to 8 d or until revascularization
