Why is there a need to further shift the paradigm of Early Heart Attack Care to the prodromal stage? Can the barrier to this be overcome?
We need to shift the paradigm of Early Heart Attack Care to the prodromal stage where acute prevention can best take place. With thrombolytic therapy if patients are treat within the first hour, information so far points out that 40% of such patients do not suffer damage thus exposing “acute prevention” of a heart attack when patients are treated immediately. In the prodromal stage, acute prevention is even more possible and has an even broader window of opportunity for this to take place. The problem to date has been overcoming the barrier to this approach.
