Abstract

The early reperfusion of the occluded epicardial coronary artery and the antithrombotic therapy is of eminent importance in the management of the acute myocardial infarction with ST-segment-elevation. The emergency physician has a key role in establishing the diagnosis and deciding about the therapy. The following article describes modern concepts and the evidence of the emergency management of patients with myocardial infarction.
