Short-and Long-Term Follow-up in the Elderly Patients with ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction Receiving Primary Angioplasty or Thrombolytic Therapy

Abstract

Introduction: The ischemic time serves as the most important parameter for treatment choice in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The current study aimed at comparing the short- and long-term follow-up of elderly patients with STEMI undergoing primary angioplasty (PCI) or thrombolytic therapy.
