These results show that exertion-related MIs occur in habitually inactive people with multiple cardiac risk factors. These individuals may benefit from modest exercise training and aggressive risk-factor modification before they perform vigorous physical activity.

Local urokinase delivery with the Dispatch catheter can result in rapid and complete intracoronary thrombolysis using substantially less drug than standard thrombolytic techniques. Intramural deposition of drug with this technique creates a local reservoir of urokinase that may provide prolonged thrombolytic activity at the infusion site.
