Inclusion criteria

  • presence of chest pain for more than 30 minutes but less than 12 hours after symptom onset
  • ST-segment elevation more than 1 mm in two or more contiguous leads or presumably a new-onset left bundle branch blockage

Exclusion criteria

  • hemodynamic instability
  • history of MI
  • old age > 80years
  • Patients with bleeding diathesis (coagulopathy, thrombocytopenia or platelet dysfunction, Gastrointestinal or genitourinary bleeding within the prior 3 months)

Treatment and study plan

tirofiban

Drug

tirofiban (25 μg/kg bolus and 0.15 μg/kg/min maintenance infusion for 24 hours)

Primary outcomes

  1. Infarct size and its transmural extent using MRI

    Time frame: within the first 30 days after index procedure

Secondary outcomes

  1. pre-PCI thrombolysis in myocardial infarction grade, post-PCI myocardial blush grade, ST-segment resolution on electrocardiography, and left ventricular ejection fraction on echocardiography

    Time frame: at 6 month after index procedure
