Abstract
VALLADARES CARVAJAL, Francisco de Jesús et al. ST-segment Elevation Acute Myocardial Infarction. Clinical Practice Guideline. Rev. Finlay [online]. 2022, vol.12, n.3, pp. 364-386. Epub Sep 30, 2022. ISSN 2221-2434.
The implementation of Clinical Practice Guidelines, with effective evidence-based interventions, has improved the results of managing patients with ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction in high-income countries, however, the same is not true in countries with medium and low incomes, where there are large gaps in its implementation, due to multiple factors. This Clinical Practice Guideline refers to patients presenting with ischemic symptoms or their equivalents and persistent ST-segment elevation on the electrocardiogram. This guideline does not address elements directly related to percutaneous coronary intervention procedures or surgical myocardial revascularization.
Keywords : st elevation myocardial infarction; practice guideline; treatment adherence and compliance.
