Transport for PCI versus fibrinolysis—long-term data scrutinized

The optimal reperfusion strategy for patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction who are admitted to community hospitals without a catheterization laboratory is still a matter of debate. The long-term results of the DANAMI-2 study contribute to the evidence base for optimal reperfusion,...

The long-term results of the DANAMI-2 study contribute to the evidence base for optimal reperfusion, but should be interpreted with caution and in the context of the wider literature on this subject.
