Impact of Prehospital Administration of Aspirin and Unfractionated Heparin on In-Hospital Outcomes in Patients with Suspected Myocardial Infarction: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Prehospital administration of ASA and UFH did not affect in-hospital mortality and bleeding outcomes in a cohort of patients with suspected MI. These findings suggest that routine prehospital anticoagulation in suspected MI may not improve short-term outcomes and should be reconsidered pending randomized evidence.
