Acute myocardial infarction is a common disease with serious consequences in mortality,
morbidity, and cost to the society. Coronary atherosclerosis plays a pivotal part as the …

Over the past couple of decades, accumulating evidence has shown that structural and
functional abnormalities of coronary microvasculature are highly prevalent, associated with …

Background Current guidelines for the treatment of ST-segment elevation myocardial
infarction recommend a door-to-balloon time of 90 minutes or less for patients undergoing …

Background—Although the relationship between mortality and time delay to treatment has
been demonstrated in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction …

Context Timely reperfusion therapy is recommended for patients with ST-segment elevation
myocardial infarction (STEMI), and door-to-balloon delay has been proposed as a …

In patients with stable CAD, PCI can be considered a valuable initial mode of
revascularization in all patients with objective large ischaemia in the presence of almost …

Objectives: We sought to determine the effect of door-to-balloon time on mortality for patients
with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous …

Background Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is shown to be the most
