Abstract
ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is an important risk factor of death worldwide. Significant clinical research has been done to assess ideal reperfusion strategies in the setting of STEMI, including the role of the antithrombin agents: unfractionated heparin (UFH) and low molecular weight heparin (LMWH). Given the evidence that LMWH may be safer than UFH in the treatment of other thrombotic disorders, its role in the management of STEMI needs to be more defined.
