Myocardial infarction means damage to a region of the heart muscle due to reduction in blood supply or a supply that is not enough to meet its oxygen demand. Since STEMI is due to sudden thrombotic occlusion (formation of a blood clot) of a coronary artery (blood vessel carrying oxygenated blood to heart muscle), the mainstay of treatment is removal of the clot. This could be either by primary angioplasty (mechanical removal of the block ) or by thrombolytic therapy (treatment to dissolve the clot).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-14359 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/johnsonfrancis.org\/general\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/angioplasty-300x153.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"153\" srcset=\"https:\/\/johnsonfrancis.org\/general\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/angioplasty-300x153.png 300w, https:\/\/johnsonfrancis.org\/general\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/angioplasty.png 411w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-14358 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/johnsonfrancis.org\/general\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/Dissolving-clot-with-medicine-thrombolysis-300x87.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"87\" srcset=\"https:\/\/johnsonfrancis.org\/general\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/Dissolving-clot-with-medicine-thrombolysis-300x87.png 300w, https:\/\/johnsonfrancis.org\/general\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/Dissolving-clot-with-medicine-thrombolysis.png 414w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Primary angioplasty is the best option for STEMI, if the facility is locally available.
