Although coronary heart disease is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the Middle East (ME), not much is known about patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) from this region. The STEMI Chain of Survival can be used to target regional improvements in patient care. We tried to adopt a modified chain of survival for STEMI to highlight the challenges and difficulties and the possible solutions to improve the STEMI care in the Middle East based on the few data available.
尽管冠心病是中东地区发病和死亡的主要原因,但对于该地区ST段抬高型心肌梗死(STEMI)患者的了解却不多。STEMI生存链可用于针对改善患者护理的区域目标。我们试图采用一种改良的STEMI生存链,以根据现有的少量数据,突出中东地区在改善STEMI护理方面面临的挑战和困难以及可能的解决方案。
