Late-breaking clinical trials presented at the 2005 and 2006 annual scientific meetings of the ACC, AHA, and European Society of Cardiology, as well as selected other data, were reviewed by the standing guideline writing committee along with the parent Task Force and other experts to identify those trials and other key data that might impact guidelines recommendations. On the basis of the criteria/considerations noted above, recent trial data and other clinical information were considered important enough to prompt a focused update of the 2004 ACC/AHA Guidelines for the Management of Patients With ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction [see Chen ZM et al. 3; Chen ZM et al. 4; ASSENT-4 PCI 5; Antman EM et al. 6; Yusuf S et al. 7; Bhatt DL et al. 8; Sabatine MS et al. 9; Bennett JS et al. 10; Smith SC Jr et al. 11; OAT 12, 13 and TOSCA 14].When considering the new data for this focused update, the writing group faced the task of weighing evidence from studies enrolling large numbers of subjects outside North America. Although noting that practice patterns and the rigor applied to data collection, as well as the genetic makeup of subjects, might influence the observed magnitude of a treatment effect, the writing group believed the data were relevant to formulation of recommendations for management of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in North America. The reasons for this decision include that 1) a broad array of management strategies was represented, including substantial proportions of subjects who received some form of reperfusion therapy, 2) concomitant treatments with proven efficacy (eg, aspirin, beta blockers, inhibitors of the renin-angiotensinaldosterone system, and statins) were used in the majority of patients, and 3) it was considered an impractical expectation that the tens of thousands of patients with STEMI needed to meet the estimated sample size for contemporary clinical trials be enrolled exclusively at North American sites.
