Abstract

Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) continues to be a major cause of morbidity and mortality in Malaysia. With timely intervention and early reperfusion, the cardiovascular outcomes have improved. The biggest challenge has been to reduce the total ischaemic time, which is the time from onset of chest pain till the time when the infarct related artery is opened. A large portion of this delay has been the late presentation of the patient with AMI to medical attention (onset of chest pain to First Medical Contact – FMC).
