Our results showing no difference in MSI between the O2 and air groups suggests that supplemental O2 did not affect the efficacy of reperfusion in STEMI patients accepted for acute PCI. These results support the safety of withholding supplemental oxygen in normoxic STEMI patients.
The SOCCER trial addresses a significant knowledge gap in the routine care of patients with AMI. Even though oxygen therapy is part of standard care, oxygen may not be beneficial to these patients, and possibly even harmful. The results of the present and concurrent oxygen trials may thus change international treatment guidelines for patients with…
Presentation patterns were quite similar for men and women with a large likelihood of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) for those presenting in the morning. This may be related to changes in the thrombolytic activity, platelet aggregability and sympathetic system activation. In patients with ECG signs of ST elevation ACS, the likelihood for ACS was much…

Troponin T is a much better biomarker than CKMB in diagnosing Acute Coronary Syndrome.
