Abstract

ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) or myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation caused by total occlusion of the coronary artery that is atherosclerotic or other causes that can cause irreversible necrosis of the heart muscle. The initial action that can be taken to prevent cardiac muscle necrosis is to administer oxygen therapy and continue with revascularization (fibrinolytic, Percutaneous Coronary Intervention). This study aims to determine the effectiveness of revascularization therapy in patients with myocardial infarction with ST elevation. This research uses a literature review by reviewing national and international journals on revascularization therapy for myocardial rescue in myocardial infarction patients with ST elevation segments.
