Challenges and unanswered questions in STEMI management

Abstract The management of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has evolved significantly over the last decades. STEMI treatment includes reperfusion therapy, ideally by primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI), modern antithrombotic therapy and secondary prevention measures. Even though many areas in the management of STEMI are well studied and analyzed in the guidelines, there are still challenges and unanswered questions on how to improve outcomes. This review aims to offer an insight in areas that need to be explored.
