All medical centers should have in place and use an AHA/ACC guideline–based STEMI protocol. Centers that are not primary PCIcapable should have protocols in place tomeet accepted time-to­therapy guidelines, with either rapid transfer to a PCI-capable facility or administration of thrombolyticswithsubsequenttransfertoaPCIcenter. In the emergency department, an acute MI protocol should be activated that includes a targeted clinicalexaminationanda12-leadECGcompletedwithin10minutesofarrival. The goal ofimmediate management inpatients withSTEMIis to identify candidatesforreperfusion therapyandto immediatelyinitiatethatprocess. Other priorities include reliefofischemic pain,as wellasrecognitionandtreatmentofhypotension,pulmonaryedema,andarrhythmia.

forbackgroundinformationonagentslistedinthefollowingtext.
AnticoagulantchoiceforpatientswhowillreceiveprimaryPCI:
UFH is often preferred during PCI by many operators due to the availability and real-time
therapeutic monitoring with activating clotting times (ACTs) in the catheterization laboratory. Additional bolus doses of UFH are given at PCI, with the dose and ACT goal dependent on whetheraGPIIb/IIIaantagonisthasbeengiven. EnoxaparinuseinSTEMIpatientsasananticoagulantforPCIisunclear,andwegenerallydonot recommendit.
BivalirudincanbegiventopatientsalreadytreatedwithASAandclopidogrelonpresentation.BivalirudinisanacceptablealternativetotheuseofcombinedheparinandGPIIb/IIIainhibitor
duringPCIwithlowerbleedingratesbuthigherrateofstentthrombosis.
82,83
ItistheagentofchoiceinpatientswithknownHIT.ItcanbegivenwithorwithoutpriortreatmentwithUFH.IfpatientisbeingtreatedwithUFH,
discontinueUFHfor30minutespriortostartingbivalirudin.

Anti-ischemic therapy (also refer to the Medications section for UA/NSTEMI for background informationonagentslistedhere).
Nitroglycerin should be administered to patients with ischemic chest pain, to aid in control of hypertension,or as part ofthe managementofHF.Nitroglycerinshouldeither be avoided or used withcautioninpatientswith:
Hypotension(systolicBP[SBP]<90mmHg) RVinfarct Heartrate>100bpmor<50bpm
https://t.me/med1917
Documenteduseofphosphodiesteraseinhibitors(e.g.,sildenafil)inprevious48hours
Morphine(2–4mgIV)canbeusedforrefractorychestpainthatisnotresponsivetonitroglycerin. Adequateanalgesiadecreaseslevelsofcirculatingcatecholaminesandreducesmyocardial oxygen consumption. BBs improve myocardial ischemia, limit infarct size, and reduce major adverse cardiac events includingmortality,recurrentischemia,andmalignantarrhythmias.
OralBBsshouldbestartedinallpatientswithSTEMIwithinthefirst24hourswhodonothave signs of new HF, evidence ofcardiogenic shock (Killip class IIor greater), ageolder than 70 years,SBP<120mmHg,pulse>110or<60bpm,oradvancedheartblock.
84
IVBBscanincreasemortalityinpatientswithSTEMIandshouldbereservedformanagementof arrhythmias or acute treatment of accelerated hypertension in patients without the earlier mentionedfeatures.SinustachycardiainthesettingofaSTEMImaybeacompensatoryresponse tomaintaincardiacoutputandshouldnotpromptIVBBuse.
AcuteCoronaryReperfusion
Themajority ofpatientswhosufferanacuteSTEMIhavethromboticocclusionofa coronary artery. Earlyrestorationofcoronaryperfusionlimitsinfarctsize,preservesLVfunction,andreducesmortality. All other therapies are secondary and should not delay the timely goal of achieving coronary reperfusion. Unlessspontaneousresolutionofischemiaoccurs(asdeterminedbyresolutionofchestdiscomfortand normalizationofSTelevation),thechoiceofreperfusionstrategyincludesthrombolysis,primaryPCI, oremergentCABG(Figure4-5).
Normalization oftheECGandsymptoms should notprecludethepatientbeingreferred forurgent diagnosticangiography.Morphinemaymaskongoingischemicsymptoms.

heart failure,or have ST-segment elevations that donotnormalize 60–90 minutes following fibrinolysis shouldundergo
rescue PCI.4Signs of successful reperfusion include chest pain relief, 50% reduction in ST-segment elevation, and
idioventricular rhythm. P2Y12 inhibitors include antiplatelet agents: clopidogrel, prasugrel, and ticagrelor. ASA, aspirin;

https://t.me/med1917
butwith continued ECGchanges of STEMI are still candidatesfor immediate reperfusion (either primary PCI or fibrinolytics). We recommend angiography with intent for PCI/CABG in such a
circumstance. Thechoiceofreperfusiontherapyshouldbeconsideredofsecondaryimportancetotheoverallgoalof achievingreperfusioninatimelymanner.
PrimaryPCI
Primary PCI is the preferred reperfusion strategy when available within 90 minutes of first medical contact. Compared to fibrinolytic therapy, PCI offers superior vessel patency and perfusion(TIMI3flow)withlessreinfarction,lessriskofintracranialhemorrhage,andimproved survival regardless of lesion locationor patient age. STEMIpatients with symptom onset<12 hourspriorhaveabetterprognosisandoutcomeafterPCI.PCIshouldstillberoutinelyofferedto patientswithSTEMIwhohaveongoingsymptomsthatbegan12–24hourspriortopresentation. PCI may also be considered, although evidence of benefit is limited,in patients who are now asymptomaticbuthadsymptomsintheprevious12-to24-hourperiod. Asymptomatic patients who are hemodynamically and electrically stable without evidence of ischemia and whose symptoms began morethan 24 hours prior should not be offered PCI of a totallyoccludedinfarctartery.
85
PCIisalwayspreferredoverfibrinolysisinthefollowingsituations:PatientswhopresentwithsevereHForcardiogenicshockshouldreceiveprimaryPCI(evenif
transfertoa PCIcentermaycausedelaysbeyond currenttimegoalsforreperfusion).Patients withKillipclassIII/IVorTIMIriskscore≥5representhigh-riskgroupswherePCIispreferred despiteapotentialtimedelay.
86,87
Haveacontraindicationtofibrinolytictherapy.HavehadrecentPCIorpriorCABG.PCIisgenerallypreferredtofibrinolysisinpatientswithsymptomonset>12hoursprior.
88,89
Coronarystentingis superior toballoonangioplasty aloneandreducestheratesoftargetvessel revascularization. Iftheinfarct-relatedarteryissuccessfullytreatedandpatientshavelesionsinnon–infarct-related arteries that are amenable to PCI, complete revascularization results in a decrease in the composite of cardiovascular death and MI, as well as a decrease in future need for revascularization.90Timing,priortodischargeorreturnintheoutpatientsetting,shoulddependon the clinical stability of the patient and comorbid illnesses (i.e., renal function). Both are acceptablestrategiesforrevascularizationofnonculpritpathology. Previously,itwasthought tobeadvantageousforpatientsinshocktohavesignificantlesionsin non–infarct-related arteries intervened on if feasible. However,in theCULPRIT-SHOCKtrial, culprit-lesion only PCI resulted in a reduction in all-cause mortality and need for renal replacementtherapy.
91
TransradialapproachinSTEMIreducesbleeding andmayhaveamortalitybenefitcomparedto transfemoralaccess. Dorsalradialarteryaccessisanotheralternative. FacilitatedPCI,astrategyofreduceddoseofGPIIb/IIIainhibitors and/orfibrinolyticagentjust priortoPCI,shouldnotberoutinelyusedbecauseitdoesnotimproveefficacyandsignificantly increasesbleedingrates.
Fibrinolytictherapy
Fibrinolytictherapyhasthemainadvantagesofwidespreadavailabilityandeaseofdelivery.The primary disadvantagesoffibrinolytictherapy aretheriskofintracranialhemorrhage,uncertainty ofwhethernormalcoronaryflowhasbeenrestored,andriskofre-occlusionoftheinfarct-related
https://t.me/med1917
artery. FibrinolysisisindicatedwhenprimaryPCIisnotavailableinatimelyfashion(i.e.,delay>120 minutes or time-to-transfer > 120 minutes). Transfer to a PCI-capable facility should occur regardlessofwhetherfibrinolyticsaregivenornot. Fibrinolytic therapy is indicated for use if given within 12 hours of the symptom onset with qualifyingECGchangesofSTelevation,newLBBB,ortrueposteriorMI.Whengiven,itshould be administered within 30 minutes of initial patient contact. Fibrinolytic therapy is most successfulwhengiveninthefirst3hoursofsymptomonset,afterwhichthebenefittapers. Patients presenting to a hospital without PCI capability should be transferred for primaryPCI, rather than being given fibrinolytics, iftime from firstmedical contacttoPCIwill notbe >120 minutes.Thisseemsparticularlyrelevanttopatientsarriving3–12hoursfromsymptomonset. InpatientstransferredforPCI,primary PCIsignificantlylowered theincidenceofdeath,MI,or strokecomparedtoon-sitethrombolysis.
91-94
All patients should be transferred to a PCI-capable facility after fibrinolysis (early routine angiography);thisshouldoccururgentlyifpatientsareinshockorhavefailedreperfusion. Availablethrombolyticagentsincludethefibrin-selectiveagentssuchasalteplase(recombinant
tissue plasminogen activator [rt-PA]), reteplase (r-PA), and tenecteplase (TNK-tPA). Streptokinaseistheonlynonselectiveagentinuse.Furtherdetailsanddosinginformationcanbe
foundinTable4-18. TNK-tPA is the current agent of choice due to similar efficacy, lower risk of bleeding,and

Peri-InfarctManagement
Thecoronarycareunit(CCU)wasthefirstmajoradvanceinthemoderneraoftreatmentofacuteMI. AllpatientswithSTEMIshouldbeobservedinaspecializedCCUorintensivecareunitsettingforat least24hoursafterSTEMI. Patientsshouldhavecontinuoustelemetrymonitoringtodetectforrecurrentischemiaandarrhythmias. Daily evaluation should include assessment for recurrent chest discomfort, new HF symptoms, and routineECGs.PhysicalexamshouldfocusonnewmurmursandanyevidenceofHF. A baselineechocardiogram should beobtainedtodocumentEF, wall motion abnormalities, valvular lesions,andpresenceofventricularthrombus.

Post-STEMIMedicalTherapy
SeealsoMedicationssectionforUA/NSTEMI. ASA should be continued indefinitely. Dose of 81 mg/d has been shown to be effective after PCI; however,therangeof75–162mg/dhasalsobeenendorsed. Clopidogrel(75mg/d),prasugrel(10mg/d),orticagrelor(90mgbid)shouldbegivenforaminimum of12 months regardless ofwhether a bare metal stent(BMS) or drug-elutingstent (DES) was used (thisisincontrasttonon-ACSpatientswhoreceiveaBMSandtheminimumdurationoftherapyis 1month). BBs confer a mortality benefit following acute MI. Treatment should begin as soon as possible (preferablywithinthefirst24hours)andcontinuedindefinitelyunlesscontraindicated. ACEinhibitorsprovide areductioninshort-termmortality,incidenceofHF, andrecurrentMI when initiatedwithinthefirst24hoursofanacuteMI.

PatientswithEF<40%,largeanteriorMI,andpriorMIderivethemostbenefitfromACEinhibitor therapy. Contraindications include hypotension, history of angioedema with use, pregnancy, acute renal failure,andhyperkalemia. ARBscanbeusedinpatientswhoareintolerantofACEinhibitors.
HMG-CoAreductaseinhibitorsshouldbestartedinall patientsinthe absenceofcontraindications. Severaltrialshaveshownthebenefitofearlyandaggressiveuseofhigh-dosestatinsfollowingacute MI.Thegoalisatleast50%reductioninLDLorLDL<70mg/dL.PatientsunabletoachieveLDL<70 mg/dLdespite a highintensity should be evaluatedfor adjunctive therapywithaPCSK9inhibitoror ezetimibe. Aldosteronereceptor antagonists(spironolactoneandeplerenone)haveshownbenefitinpost-MI patientswithLVEF<40%andindiabetics.

Cautionshouldbeusedinpatientswithhyperkalemia andrenalinsufficiency. Warfarin should not be routinelyprescribed topatients withapical hypokinesis inthesetting of an anterior MI in theabsence of LV thrombusor other indicationsfor anticoagulation. Such therapy is associated with increased bleeding and death. The actual risk of developing LV thrombus is low becausemanypatientswillhaverecoveryofhypokinesis.

SPECIALCONSIDERATIONS
Specialclinicalsituations
RVMIisseeninpatientswithanacuteinferiorMIsecondarytocompleteocclusionoftheproximal
RCA. RV function is very preload dependent, and frequently, hypotension responds to fluid resuscitation.
Theclinical triadofhypotension,elevatedjugular venouspressure,andclear lungfields in the settingofSTEMIshouldpromptanevaluationforRVinfarctormassivepulmonaryembolism. One-mmSTelevationsintheV1orV4RleadsarethemostsensitivemarkerofRVinvolvement.
InitialtherapyisIVfluids.Ifhypotensionpersists,inotropicsupportwithdobutamineand/orIABP may be necessary. Right-sided mechanical support devices are available when pharmacologic supportfails. Invasive hemodynamic monitoring is critical in the persistently hypotensive patient because it guidesvolumestatusandtheneedforinotropicandmechanicalsupport. InpatientswithheartblockandAV dyssynchrony,sequentialAV pacinghasamarkedbeneficial
