ABSTRACT
Aim: To find the
frequency of thrombolytic therapy administration in acute ST elevation
myocardial infarction in peripheral hospital of KPK
Study Design: Descriptive cross sectional study
Place & Duration: DHQ Hospital Timergara District Dir Lower from 1st January
2017 to 31st December 2017.
Methods: Two
hundred and sixty one patients with acute ST elevation myocardial infarction
were included. Acute STEMI was defined as typical chest pain and ≥1 mm ST
elevation in two consecutive leads.
Results: Mean
age was 60±8 years (28-90 years). Anterior MI was more common accounting for
56% of total study population. Male patients were 156 (59.7%). 66.4% were
thrombolysed and remaining were deprived of the therapy.
Conclusion: Though in the developed countries primary PCI is used for STEMI but in
our peripheral hospitals even most patients are still not thrombolysed
properly.
