Description
Summary:Background: One of the most effective and used (in our settings) methods of reperfusion of ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is administration of streptokinase (SK) infusion. This study was conducted with the aim to compare ST segment resolution between diabetic and non-diabetic patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction after thrombolysis by streptokinase. Methods: A total of 100 patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction with or without diabetes mellitus were studied from December 2016 to November 2017. Among these half of patients were diabetic while rests were non-diabetic. Streptokinase was administered to all patients. Resolution (reduction) of elevated ST segment was evaluated after 90 min of streptokinase administration. Results: Failed reperfusion (
