Abstract


INTRODUCTION:
The leading cause of death worldwide is coronary artery disease1. In
2015 coronary artery disease accounted for 7.2 million deaths world
wide2,3, 80% of which were in low income countries like India4. It has
been estimated that by 2020, 2.6 million Indians are predicted to die
because to coronary artery disease5.Indians are prone to get coronary
artery disease at an earlier age compared to people in developed
countries because of the high prevalence of risk factors like diabetes
and hypertension6,7. ST segment elevation myocardial infarction is
most common type of acute coronary event contributing 60.6% of
overall incidence of acute coronary syndrome in Indian
population8.The overall mortality in STEMI is approximately 4 to 7 %
or even less in the published clinical trials.
