Warren Cantor, University of Toronto
COMMENT: Tony Gershlick, Leicester University
A new study has shown important gains from adding angioplasty routinely to therapy for all patients receiving thrombolysis for acute myocardial infarction if it is available within 6 hours. This comes from the 1 000-patient TRANSFER-AMI study which Warren Cantor presented to the ACC. He talked with Peter Goodwin who also discussed the findings with Tony Gershlick.
