41
Sgarbossa Criteria 41
42
Modified Sgarbossa Criteria 42
43
Sgarbossa Criteria ST elevation ≥1 mm in a lead with a positive QRS complex (ie: concordance) - 5 points ST depression ≥1 mm in lead V1, V2, or V3 - 3 points ST elevation ≥5 mm in a lead with a negative (discordant) QRS complex - 2 points ≥3 points, sensitivity 36%, specificity 90% (NEJM 334(8):481-487) 43
44
Modified Sgarbossa Criteria at least one lead with concordant STE (Sgarbossa criterion 1) or at least one lead of V1-V3 with concordant ST depression (Sgarbossa criterion 2) or proportionally excessively discordant ST elevation in V1-V4, as defined by an ST/S ratio of equal to or more than 0.20 and at least 2 mm of STE. (this replaces Sgarbossa criterion 3 which uses an absolute of 5mm) Sensitivity 91%, Specificity 90% (Annals of Emergency Medicine 60 (6): 766–776.) 44
45

46
Primary PCI Door to balloon time – 90 minutes in PCI capable hospital – 120 minutes in non-PCI capable hospital Patients presented more than 12 hours, with cardiogenic shock, electrical instability or persistent ischemic symptoms (2013 ACCF/AHA guideline for the management of ST-elevation myocardial infarction) 46
47
Thrombolytic therapy Symptoms within 12 hours with primary PCI not available within 120 minutes Door to needle time less than 30 minutes Facilitated PCI is not recommended Rescue PCI if failed fibrinolysis (2013 ACCF/AHA guideline for the management of ST-elevation myocardial infarction) 47
48
Thrombolytic therapy First generation fibrinolytic agents (eg streptokinase) indiscriminately induce activation of circulating plasminogen and clot-associated plasminogen Second generation fibrinolytic agents (eg t-PA) preferentially activate plasminogen in the fibrin domain Second generation fibrinolytic agents improve 24 hours, 30 days and 1 year mortality rate in GUSTO trial (Circulation. Oct 10 2000;102(15):1761-5.) 48
49
Antithrombotic therapy Enoxaparin 0.5mg/kg significant reduced clinical ischemic outcome compared with unfractionated heparin in STEMI patient undergoing primary PCI (ATOLL trial. Lancet. Aug 20 2011;378(9792):693-703.) 49
50
Antiplatelet agents Aspirin should be given immediately Adding clopidogrel 300mg (CLARITY-TIMI 28) is safe and effective Increase clopidogrel to 600mg in patient with STEMI prior to primary PCI was associated with a smaller infarct size (ARMYDA-6 MI) (J Am Coll Cardiol. Oct 4 2011;58(15):1592-9.) 50
