Reperfusion therapy for ST elevation acute myocardial infarction 2010/2011: current status in 37 ESC countries

Abstract: Large variations in reperfusion treatment are still present across Europe. Countries in Eastern and Southern Europe reported that a substantial number of STEMI patients are not receiving any reperfusion therapy. Implementation of the best reperfusion therapy as recommended in the guidelines should be encouraged.

“…The mismatch between need and availability of PCI-capable facilities remains a concern (7) but success stories relating to government involvement in other countries are encouraging. (7,13,14) Perceived South African healthcare challenges (personal observations) that need to be considered relate to: lessons learnt from other countries are encouraging (7) and much may be learnt from their experiences in treating patients coming from remote areas. …”

“…(7) Nevertheless, depending on the configuration of the care network for myocardial infarction, with particularities according to the countries and regions, various time fractions can make up the period between the onset of the symptoms and the admission to a referral hospital in cardiology. Differently from other countries, where the user is admitted directly to specialized services, (8) in the public health network of Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, the admission to referral hospitals in cardiology, with access to hemodynamics and intensive care services, does not take place directly, as these services have no "open door" emergency service, but the access is mediated by regulation centrals. Hence, people with symptoms of a myocardial infarction have to be assessed at least at one health service for further regulation to these hospitals.…”

“…The national percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) database (ORPKI) identifies as many as 155 such centres in 2015, which makes it well in line with the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) recommendations of at least one catheterisation laboratory per 300,000-1,000,000 inhabitants [1,2]. The well-planned development and organisation of invasive cardiology in the last two decades has brought Poland to the third place in Europe in terms of number of primary PCI in ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) per million inhabitants per year and has led to the fulfilment of all criteria required by the "Stent for Life" initiative [3]. The quality of percutaneous treatment of patients in Poland has improved and grown in numbers, and has followed international trends in the adoption of modern PCI techniques and utilisation of novel devices and medications [4].…”
