[STEMI guidelines 2008--Do they influence today's myocardial infarction treatment strategies in rural areas?].
2008 new guidelines for the management of patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction were published by the European Society of Cardiology. For daily clinical practice, changes in recommendations concerning the preferred revascularization therapy according to different time delays are of great interest. This review focuses on possible implications of these new guidelines on the choice of reperfusion strategies in rural areas.
