Core Tip

Core Tip: This study by Saeed and Faeq reveals the significant impact of timely primary percutaneous coronary intervention on mortality reduction in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients. The analysis showed that chronic kidney disease, specific culprit coronary lesions, and an atypical presentation characterized by presence of either syncope, cardiogenic shock, or ventricular arrhythmias on arrival were predictive of post-percutaneous coronary intervention mortality.
