Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to examine how sex influences prognosis after a first ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) while considering factors like age and comorbidities.
- 14,690 first STEMI patients were analyzed, revealing that while women had similar 30-day complication rates as men, they exhibited lower 1-year mortality rates.
- Over the study period, the time to artery opening decreased and primary PCI rates improved for both sexes, indicating enhanced emergency care responsiveness.
Objectives: To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) network of Catalonia (Codi Infart).
Design: Cost-utility analysis.
Setting: The analysis was from the Catalonian Autonomous Community in Spain, with a population of about 7.
Aims: The preferred reperfusion strategy for early ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI, defined as time from symptoms onset ≤120 min) in non-capable percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) centres remains controversial. We sought to compare mortality of in situ fibrinolysis vs. PCI transfer in a real-life consecutive cohort of early STEMI.

It is unclear whether early adjunctive treatment with unfractionated heparin (UFH) is beneficial for coronary patency. We investigated the effect of UFH administered before transfer versus in the catheterization laboratory (CathLab) on initial patency of the infarct related artery (IRA) in transferred STEMI patients treated with PPCI.
