Pharmaco-invasive Therapy for STEMI; The Most Suitable STEMI Reperfusion Therapy for Transferred Patients in Thailand

Main Article Content

Pradub Sukhum, MD

Abstract

Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) is the consequence of atherosclerotic plaque disruption with thrombus formation and significantly increasing different degrees of coronary artery occlusion. Using clinical features, electrocar-diogram and cardiac biomarker (troponin), ACS can be divided into
