Abstract
Key Points
Management of patients presenting with late STEMI (>12 hours) remains controversial.
In this study, outcomes of early and late STEMI were similar despite more critical cardiovascular risk profiles among late presenters, potentially supporting a strategy of PCI in late STEMI presenters.
An algorithm for the management of late STEMI is presented
