ABSTRACT

ST segment elevation myocardial infarction is one of the major causes of mortality in modern world. Streptokinase although an old modality is still an effective and efficient way to decreasemortality in such cases especially in poor countries and hospitals where facility of coronary angiogram/ primary percutaneous intervention is not available. Objective: To determine the Electrocardiographic success of thrombolysis in patients with acute STEMI Study Design: Prospective observational study. Place and Duration: Kashmir institute of Cardiology, Mirpur Azad Jammu and Kashmir, 8 months from May 2016 to December 2016. Patients and Methods: Patients presenting with Acute STEMI in emergency department were included, patients were analyzed via history, clinical examination and ECG findings of Acute STEMI. Results: 89 patients were observed in emergency department Conclusion: Success of thrombolysis based on ECG was 55% in our setup which is less than international standards. Based on this study there is a dire need to enhance our pre-hospital emergency services. Keywords: ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, Streptokinase, Acute Myocardial Infarction
