Brief Summary

At the periphery of the city of São Paulo, in-hospital mortality in acute myocardial infarction is estimated to range between 15% and 20% due to difficulties inherent to delayed answer at a large metropolis. As a city with more than 11 million inhabitants, the distribution of emergency services and public hospitals is also heterogeneous, with scarcity in peripheral zones. That heterogeneity of resources also involves the quality of the medical care provided. The possibility of a standard care with fast transfer after thrombolysis and a tertiary backing system for ECG interpretation, catheterization and advanced support could improve this setting. In a project initiated in 2010, the São Paulo Municipal Health Secretariat, the Federal University of Sao Paulo/Paulista School of Medicine, the Emergency Mobile Health Care Service arranged a planed system of thrombolysis at peripheral hospitals or at the ambulances with immediate transfer to a unique tertiary center for early angiography and angioplasty of the culprit artery. The protocol uses recommendations of Brazilian and international guidelines, and is the same adopted for the management of ST elevation myocardial infarction at Paulista School of Medicine regarding the indications for thrombolytic agents, primary and rescue percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), and pharmacoinvasive therapy. The hypothesis of this study is that a network to provide the best care for patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction will reduce mortality rates. The main purpose of this registry is to provide demographics, metrics and results of this experience, maintaining complete records of clinical, laboratory and coronary angiography data of all patients allowing short-term outcome analysis of various variables in a large population. Additionally, follow-up outcomes will be provide in a sub-group of patients keeping their health care at the University or able to be tracked. All clinical endpoints of main interest will be assessed as single or composite endpoints for evaluation at different time intervals.

Study Arms (2)

Reperfusion strategies

Patients submitted to thrombolysis with tenecteplase after acute myocardial infarction will be transferred to a tertiary center and angiography with the intention to treat the culprit artery will be performed in 3 - 48 hours (preferably first 24 hours).

Procedure: PCI

Primary PCI

Patients with contra-indication to thrombolytics or able to reach the catheterization laboratory within 90 minutest will be transferred for primary angioplasty, according to current guidelines.

Procedure: PCI

Interventions

PCIPROCEDURE

Balloon dilatation of the culprit artery followed by stent implantation will be made immediately for patients not receiving thrombolysis or after 3 to 24 hours after thrombolysis, under clinical indication and current practice patterns, in the setting of acute myocardial infarction

Also known as: Coronary angioplasty
Primary PCIReperfusion strategies

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

Patients presenting to an emergency room included in the network or being attended by ambulances in this same area, with acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction will be assesed for thrombolysis (preferable) or primary angioplasty (if within 90' patient would be in the cath lab or when thrombolysis is not possible or contra-indicated) and immediately sent to a tertiary center for catheterization and angioplasty of the culprit artery.

You may qualify if:

  • Patients with acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction diagnosed by the presence of typical symptoms and electrocardiogram (ECG) alterations (either ST segment elevation or presumable new left bundle branch block) within the first 12 hours of symptoms able to receive thrombolysis with tenecteplase (TNK) or to be transferred for primary angioplasty in a tertiary center.

You may not qualify if:

  • Age under 18 years-old
  • Contra-indication to tenecteplase or any antiplatelet or anticoagulant therapy (mainly due to the presence of factors predisposing to bleeding events).
