The implementation of Clinical Practice Guidelines, with effective evidence-based interventions, has improved the results of managing patients with ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction in high-income countries, however, the same is not true in countries with medium and low incomes, where there are large gaps in its implementation, due to multiple factors. This Clinical Practice Guideline refers to patients presenting with ischemic symptoms or their equivalents and persistent ST-segment elevation on the electrocardiogram. This guideline does not address elements directly related to percutaneous coronary intervention procedures or surgical myocardial revascularization.
