Reporting Groups
  Description
Thrombolysis Reteplase 10U+10U i v plus enoxaparin 30 mg i v at first contact (prehospitally or in hospital) followed by enxaparin 1 mg/kg bodyweight s c every 12 h during hospital stay.
Invasive 500 mg aspirin p o and enoxaparin 0,75 mg/kg bodyweight plus a bolus of abciximab o,25 mg/kg bodyweight i v at first contact (prehospitally or in hospital). Therafter immediate transport to a catheterization lab for PCI. A loading dose of Clopidogrel 300 mg was given to stented patients immediately after PCI and continued for 3 months. Abciximab was given as an infusion of 10 mikrog/min for 12 h.
