A Study to analyze compliance to timing of thrombolytic loading dose among patient with acute myocardial infarction and its impact on patient outcomes
Abstract: Thrombolytic medications work by breaking down large blood clots, allowing blood to flow back to the heart and reducing the risk of heart muscle damage. These agents can help prevent a heart attack from progressing to a myocardial infarction, which can be life-threatening. Fibrinolytic drugs are the preferred treatment for STEMI, as they promote reperfusion and restore blood flow when given within 12 hours of symptom onset. A 12- hour …
