Abstract

The County of Međimurje is one of the first counties in the Republic of Croatia which is involved in the project of treatment of acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) through the Croatian Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Network. For this purpose, following the adoption of American and European guidelines, we adapted our own Protocol for the treatment of STEMI in 2006 and distributed it in printed form to all members of the Croatian Medical Association in the County. In 2012, we have rearranged the protocol according to the novelties from the European Society of Cardiology Guidelines for STEMI and myocardial revascularization. The purpose of this article is to specify and standardize pre-hospital process, thereby ensuring a safe and quick transport of patients to the intervention center.
