“…Previous studies have shown that the application of platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor antagonists before primary PCI obviously improves the prognosis of patients (Cutlip et al, 2003;Lee et al, 2003;Zeymer et al, 2005;Emre et al, 2006;Gabriel et al, 2006;Gibson et al, 2006;Rakowski et al, 2007;De Luca et al, 2008). This finding is consistent with the results of our research.…”

ABSTRACT. This study aimed to investigate the effect of intracoronary application of tirofiban on platelet alpha-granule membrane protein (GMP-140) and myocardial perfusion levels during emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). A total of 70 patients who accepted emergency PCI treatment were randomly divided into tirofiban and control groups. We determined GMP-140 and troponin I (cTnI) levels before and 12 h after surgery, as well as N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide levels 1 and 7 days after surgery in the two groups. The results showed that GMP-140 and cTnI levels were significantly (P < 0.01) lower in the tirofiban group than in the control group 12 h after operation (17.99 ± 1.01 vs 24.56 ± 1.96 μg/L and 50.96 ± 2.20 vs 58.69 ± 2.34 ng/mL, respectively). The D-value of the N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide levels between 1 and 7 days after operation was significantly higher in the tirofiban group than in the control group (894.19 ± 90.91 vs 829.50 ± 84.18 pg/mL; P < 0.01). The intracoronary application of tirofiban during emergency PCI clearly reduced the GMP-140 level, inhibited the activation function of platelets, improved myocardial perfusion, and helped recover cardiac function in patients.

“…This result was supported by many studies which consistently reported better outcomes with upstream or early use of glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor compared with deferred treatment or other strategies (LOE 1 [452][453][454][455][456][457][458][459][460][461][462][463][464][465][466][467] ; LOE 2 468 -473 ; LOE 3 474 ; LOE 4 [475][476][477][478] ; LOE 5 479 ).…”

These experts reviewed 25 topics related to the acute initial management of acute coronary syndrome (ACS), which was further categorized as unstable angina, non-ST-elevation MI (UA/NSTEMI) and ST-elevation MI (STEMI). Topics were identified based on previous recommendations, emerging science, and clinical importance, using an iterative writing process involving all Task Force members. The Task Force reviewed the evidence specifically related to diagnosis and treatment of ACS in the out-ofhospital setting and the first hours of care in the in-hospital setting, typically in the emergency department (ED). The evidence review took place over several years, with ongoing refinement of recommendations being made as new evidence was published. The purpose of the review was to generate current, evidence-based treatment recommendations for healthcare providers who serve as the initial point of contact for patients with signs and symptoms suggestive of ACS.The following is a summary of the most important changes in recommendations for diagnosis and treatment of ACS since the last ILCOR review in 2005. 1,2• The history and physical examination, initial ECG, and initial serum biomarkers, even when used in combination, cannot be used to reliably exclude ACS in the prehospital and ED settings.• In contrast, chest pain observation protocols are useful in identifying patients with suspected ACS and patients who require admission or may be referred for provocative testing for coronary artery disease (CAD) to identify reversible ischemia. Such strategies also reduce cost by reducing unnecessary hospital admissions and improve patient safety through more accurate identification of NSTEMI and STEMI.• The acquisition of a prehospital 12-lead ECG is essential for identification of STEMI patients before hospital arrival and should be used in conjunction with pre-arrival hospital notification and concurrent activation of the catheter laboratory.• Nonphysicians can be trained to independently interpret 12-lead ECGs for the purpose of identifying patients with STEMI, provided that appropriate and reliable STEMI criteria are used. This skill is of particular value in the prehospital setting where paramedics may independently identify STEMI, thus mitigating over-reliance on ECG transmission.• Computer-assisted ECG interpretation can be used to increase diagnostic accuracy of STEMI diagnosis when used alone or in combination with ECG interpretation by a trained healthcare provider.• STEMI systems of care can be implemented to improve the time to treatment. The following measures have been shown to reduce the time to primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI): institutional commitment, use of a team-based approach, arranging single-call activation of the catheterization laboratory by the emergency physician or prehospital provider, requiring the catheterization laboratory to be ready in 20 minutes, having an experienced cardiologist always available, and providing real-time data feedback.• Intravenous (IV) ␤-blockers should not be give...

“…The effect of abciximab on microvascular integrity and left ventricular (LV) functional recovery among patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI) treated by primary coronary angioplasty has been studied previously. Treatment with glycoprotein IIb/ IIIa inhibition has been associated with more rapid CTFCs, [80,81] and improved coronary flow reserve measured using the TFC method. In the PROTECTion against Post-PCI Microvascular Dysfunction and Post-PCI Ischemia among Anti-Platelet and Anti-Thrombotic Agents-Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction-TIMI 30 (PROTECT-TIMI 30) trial, the use of bivalirudin was associated with greater post-PCI coronary flow reserve [82].…”

Early administration of abciximab bolus in the emergency department improves angiographic outcome after primary PCI as assessed by TIMI frame count: Results of the early ReoPro administration in myocardial infarction (ERAMI) trial

Abstract: Early administration of abciximab is both feasible and safe in patients planned for primary PCI, increasing coronary flow and myocardial reperfusion after PCI, as demonstrated by significantly decreased TFC scores and trends toward improvements in TFG, CTFC, and TMPG.
