  • Title: [Primary percutaneous coronary intervention as a national Danish reperfusion strategy of ST-elevation myocardial infarction].
    Author: Thorsted Sørensen J, Steengaard C, Holmvang L, Okkels Jensen L, Terkelsen CJ.
    Journal: Ugeskr Laeger; 2013 Jan 21; 175(4):181-5. PubMed ID: 23347734.
    Abstract:
    The use of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) as the preferred reperfusion strategy in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) requires optimal systems-of-care and logistics in order to enable rapid treatment of all patients. In Denmark, this has been achieved through prehospital electrocardiogram diagnosis, field triage and dedicated PCI centres 24/7. Today, primary PCI is an option for all Danish patients with STEMI, regardless of the distance to a PCI centre. This has led to a decline in both mortality and morbidity.
