Among patients with unstable angina or myocardial infarction without ST-segment elevation, prasugrel did not significantly reduce the frequency of the primary end point, as compared with clopidogrel, and similar risks of bleeding were observed.

Rapid reperfusion of the infarct-related artery is the cornerstone of therapy for the management of acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Canada's geography presents unique challenges for timely delivery of reperfusion therapy for STEMI patients. The Canadian R ESUM ELa reperfusion rapide de l'artère responsable de l'infarctus est la pierre angulaire th erapeutique de la prise en charge de l'infarctus aigu du myocarde avec el evation du segment ST (STEMI).

Cardiac rehabilitation programs across Canada have suspended inperson services as a result of large-scale physical distancing recommendations designed to flatten the COVID-19 pandemic curve. Virtual cardiac rehabilitation (VCR) offers an alternate mechanism of care delivery, capable of providing similar patient outcomes and safety profiles compared with centre-based programs. To minimize care gaps, all centres should consider developing and implementing a VCR program. The process of this rapid implementation, however, can be daunting. Centres should initially focus on the collation, utilization, and R ESUM E Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs across Canada have suspended in-person, centre-based cardiac rehabilitation (CBCR) services as a result of large-scale physical distancing recommendations designed to flatten the COVID-19 pandemic curve. CBCR has unequivocally demonstrated reductions in hospital readmissions, secondary events, and mortality in patients with cardiovascular disease. 1 Significant
