Pooled analysis of the short-term results from 23 randomized trials
comparing primary PCI and fibrinolytic therapy in 7739 patients
Stone G. Circulation 2008;118:538-551
Primary PCI
Recommendations
Class
Level
Indications for primary PCI
Primary PCI is the recommended reperfusion therapy
over fibrinolysis if performed by an experienced team
within 120 min of FMC
Primary PCI is indicated for patients with severe acute
heart failure or cardiogenic shock, unless the expected
PCI related delay is excessive and the patient presents
early after symptom onset.

Periprocedural antithrombotic medications
in primary PCI
Recommendations
Class
Level
Aspirin oral or i.v. (if unable to swallow) is recommended
I
B
An ADP- receptor blocker is recommended in addition to
aspirin.
Option are:
I
A
• Prasugrel in clopidogrel-naive patients, if no history of
prior stroke/TIA, age <75 years.
I
B
• Ticagrelor
I
B
• Clopidogrel, preferably when prasugrel or ticagrelor
are either not available or contraindicated

Antiplatelet therapy
Steg et al, EHJ 2012;33:2569-2619
Fibrinolytic therapy
Recommendations
Class
Level
I
A
In patient presenting early (<2 h after symptom onset ) with
large infarct and low bleeding risk, fibrinolysis should be
considered if time from FMC to balloon inflation is >90 min
IIa
B
If possible, fibrinolysis should start in the Prehospital setting
IIa
A
A fibrin – specific agent (tenecteplase, alteplase, reteplase) is
recommended ( over non – fibrin specific agents)
I
B
Oral or i.v. aspirin must be administered
I
B
Clopidogrel is indicated in addition to aspirin
I
A
Fibrinolytic therapy is recommended within 12 h of symptom
onset in patients without contraindications if primary PCI cannot
be performed by an experienced team within 120 min of FMC
Steg et al, EHJ 2012;33:2569-2619
PCI post lysis
Recommendations
Class
Level
I
A
Rescue PCI is indicated immediately when fibrinolysis has
failed (< 50% ST- segment resolution at 60 min).
I
A
Emergency PCI is indicated in the case of recurrent
ischemia or evidence of reocclusion after initial successful
fibrinolysis.
I
B
Transfer to a PCI capable center following fibrinolysis
Is indicated in all patients after fibrinolysis

Management of hyperglycemia
in the acute phase of STEMI
Recommendations
Class
Level
Measurement of glycaemia is indicated at initial evaluation in all patients,
and should be repeated in patients with know diabetes or hyperglycemia
I
C
Plans for optimal outpatient glucose control and secondary prevention
must be determined in patients with diabetes before discharge
I
C
The goals of glucose control in the acute phase should be to
maintain glucose concentrations ≤11.0 mmol/L (200mg/dL) while
avoiding fall of glycaemia<5 mmol/L (<90mg/dL). In some patients,
this may require a dose-adjusted insulin infusion with monitoring of
glucose, as long as hypoglycemia is avoided
IIa
B
A measurement of fasting glucose and HbA1c and , in some cases, a
post- discharge oral glucose tolerance test should be considered in
patients with hyperglycemia but without a history of diabetes
IIa
B
Routine glucose-insulin-potassium infusion is not indicated

Routine therapies in the acute,
subacute and long term phase of STEMI
Recommendations
Class
Level
IIa
B
Oral treatment with betablockers is indicated in patients with heart
failure or LV dysfunction
I
A
A fasting lipid profile must be obtained in all STEMI patients, as
soon as possible after presentation
I
C
I
A
IIa
C
Oral treatment with betablockers should be considered during
hospital stay and continued thereafter in all STEMI patients
without contraindications
It is recommended to initiate or continue high dose statins early
after admission in all STEMI patients without contraindication or
history of intolerance, regardless of initial cholesterol values
Reassessment of LDL should be considered after 4-6 weeks to
ensure that a target value of ≤1.8 mmol/L (70 mg/dL) has been
reached
Steg et al, EHJ 2012;33:2569-2619
Routine therapies in the acute,
subacute and long term phase of STEMI
Recommendations
ACE Inhibitors are indicated starting within the first 24 h of
STEMI in patients with evidence of heart failure, LV systolic
dysfunction, diabetes or an anterior infarct
An ARB, preferably valsartan, is an alternative to ACE
inhibitors in patient with heart failure or LV systolic
dysfunction, particularly those who are intolerant to ACE
inhibitors
ACE inhibitor should be considered in all patients in the
absence of contraindications
Aldosterone antagonists are indicated in patients with an
ejection fraction ≤40% and heart failure or diabetes,
provided no renal failure or hyperkalaemia

Conclusions
 Management of ACS has evolved rapidly over the past few years.
 Early risk stratification and cardiac catheterization is a cornerstone in
ACS management.
 If we want to benefit our patients, it is important that we examine what we
do.
 Our ACS patients receive good medical therapy at discharge from
hospital.
 However, we rely heavily on lytic therapy for reperfusion in STEMI and it
is not administered in efficient timing to get the most benefit from it.
 In both STEMI and NSTE ACS, our use of cardiac catheterization falls
short of guidelines recommendations.
