Brief Summary:
This is a prospective, randomized, multi-center, international trial comparing two reperfusion strategies in elderly (age >= 70 years) patients with acute myocardial infarction: primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) versus intravenous thrombolytic therapy. Clinical endpoints will be collected in the hospital, at 1 month, 6 months, and 1 year post-randomization. The primary endpoint is 30 day death or disabling stroke. The study null hypothesis is that there will be no significant difference in death or disabling stroke at 30 days post-randomization between patients treated with PCI versus thrombolytics.
