“…ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a life‐threatening manifestation of coronary artery disease (CAD) requiring prompt recognition and emergent reperfusion. The proportion of patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) presenting with STEMI are also higher in India . Although there are concerns about increasing incidence of MI in young worldwide, the mean age of presentation with ACS in India is ~55 years, approximately 10 years younger than reports from high‐income countries .…”

“…Although there are concerns about increasing incidence of MI in young worldwide, the mean age of presentation with ACS in India is ~55 years, approximately 10 years younger than reports from high‐income countries . More than 50% of patients with STEMI in India are of lower socioeconomic status and are unable to afford basic healthcare, let alone out‐of‐pocket costs for primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and associated medical therapies . Furthermore, the practice patterns for management of STEMI in India suffer from significant limitations including delays and underutilization of reperfusion therapy and lower rates of adherence to evidence‐based medical therapy .…”

“…Given the wide disparity of available resources to treat AMI in developing countries, major efforts are needed to strengthen primary prevention programmes at community level. 1,2 Management of acute MI is fairly standardized now. Thrombolytic therapy in the golden (0-3hrs) hours is still a gold standard treatment for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) when instituted at the earliest reducing mortality and morbidity.…”
