Foreword

The utilization of primary percutaneous intervention (pPCI) amongst other advances in the field of interventional cardiology has rendered improvement in outcomes in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, the step-by-step mechanics of diagnostic angiography during STEMI and other facets of the percutaneous intervention have varied in the current cardiology practices. Recently, an electronic survey consisting of seven focused questions of US interventional cardiologists demonstrated that there is a significant variability in the mechanics of primary PCI by US interventional cardiologists.
