Abstract

Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of the death in the United States. From 2009 to 2010, however, the rate of heart disease causing death decreased by 2.5% in part due to evolving techniques used to treat and prevent heart disease. Management of acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has evolved accordingly and the studies investigating treatment strategies that have led to an evidence-based approach are reviewed in this article.
