Brief Summary

  • When Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) is performed expeditiously and at a high-volume centre, it is the optimal approach for ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) . In contrast to the clarity of how to treat STEMI, there is no clear definition for when to discharge and which patient to discharge.
  • An early discharge strategy may be desired by all parties (financial health care provider, treating physician, nurse, patient, patient's relatives)involved in STEMI.
  • The main goal in our study is to test the hypothesis that an early discharge strategy within 48-56 hours in patients with successful PPCI is as safe as in those patients who stay longer (96-120 hours) as of a standard procedure.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • All Cause Mortality and Readmission at 30 Days.

    The primary end points were all cause mortality by 1 month and readmission due to reinfarction, unstable angina, arrhythmia, congestive heart failure, revascularization, stroke or major bleeding at 1 month.

    30 DAYS

Procedure: early discharge

Standard discharge group

NO INTERVENTION

Patients who stay longer (96-120 hours) as of a standard procedure

Interventions

In the early discharge group, patients are actively targeted for hospital discharge within 48-56 hours.

Eligibility Criteria

Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Signed informed consent and subsequent written agreement of a family member (confirming good social background)
  • Acute STEMI, defined as \>30 minutes of continuous typical chest pain and ST-segment elevation ≥2 mm in two contiguous electrocardiography leads and /or left bundle branch block within 12 hours of symptom onset.
  • Haemodynamically stable Angiographically
  • Successful PPCI procedure (TIMI 2-3 flow and %\<20 residual stenosis) and an uneventful 24 hour follow up period
  • Single epicardial artery to be treated
  • Telephone contact between the patient and PCI center after discharge is available 24 hours daily

You may not qualify if:

  • Inability to consent
  • Patients treated with thrombolytic agents for the index STEMI
  • Cardiogenic shock,
  • Stroke within a month,
  • Signs of heart failure (Killip II-IV)
  • Hypotension (\<100 mmHg SBP) persisting after PPCI
  • Chest pain recurrence
  • Clinically significant arrhythmia (requiring treatment) occurring \>6 hours after PPCI.
