Thrombolysis in STEMI in the era of COVID – Holding fort in cardiologist deficit locales

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the pharmaco-invasive approach in the management of ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) played a vital role in saving many lives. A retrospective observational study was conducted wherein 134 patients presenting with STEMI between (Dec 2019–Mar 2022) were thrombo...

description During the COVID-19 pandemic, the pharmaco-invasive approach in the management of ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) played a vital role in saving many lives. A retrospective observational study was conducted wherein 134 patients presenting with STEMI between (Dec 2019–Mar 2022) were thrombolysed with either streptokinase or tenecteplase in a centre where primary PCI was not available. There was no significant difference in the outcomes and their predictors between the SK and TNK groups. A prospective study with a larger sample size in the Indian population will be able to provide more substantial and promising results for further interventions.
