Summary
Objective: Despite the transfer of the treatment process to pre-hospital settings, shortening of intervention times, and implementation of recommended treatment options, ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) remains the leading cause of in-hospital death.In our study, the contribution of the reperfusion strategy, clopidogrel loading doses, and adjunctive therapy on platelet aggregation to mortality and morbidity was investigated.
