    Abstract:
    In acute ST-elevation infarction two different reperfusion strategies--thrombolytic medication and acute coronary angiography--have proved to improve the prognosis. The clinical course for patients with ST-elevation infarction is described in relation to whether they received thrombolytic medication or underwent acute coronary angiography with the aim of mechanical revascularization. The one-year mortality was high (20 percent) regardless of treatment strategy. In terms of morbidity there were no clear differences between the two treatment groups.
