Background: Primary PCI is the recommended reperfusion strategy in patients with STEMI and should be initiated within 2 hours after first medical contact. In non-PCI-capable hospitals this goal is not always achievable due to delays in transfer. In these cases, thrombolysis is recommended to improve morbidity and mortality. The STREAM-1 trial found that for [2] patients with STEMI presenting within 3 hours of symptom onset and unable to attain PCI within 1 hour of first medical contact, a phar
