Abstrakt: The article offers information on the treatment of patients suffering from ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). It is recommended that patients with STEMI should be given aspirin and clopidogrel. The other therapies recommended for curing patients with STEMI include the percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or the fibrinolysis therapy.
