| Core Tip |
The guideline-recommended time goals for primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) could not be met during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic for the treatment of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. Leading cardiology societies recommended considering a new fibrinolytic-based reperfusion strategy during the time of the COVID-19 pandemic; however, previous large-scale studies have indicated that fibrinolytic therapy may offer a reduced prognostic value and poor survival outcomes in patients with STEMI compared to PPCI. We investigated the differential prevalence of the use of fibrinolytic therapy by healthcare systems belonging to countries with distinct income status, and its effect on the risk of all-cause mortality in STEMI patients. |
