Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
Suspected ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) < 6 hours duration (from symptom onset) defined by detection of rise and/or fall of cardiac biomarkers (troponin and CK) with at least one value above the 99th percentile of the upper reference limit together with evidence of ischemia with at least one of the following:
- Symptoms of ischemia
- Electrocardiographic (ECG) changes of new ischemia (new ST-T elevation or new left bundle branch block [LBBB]) and/or development of new pathological Q waves in the ECG
- New ST elevation at the J point = 0.2 mV in men or = 0.15 mV in women in V2-V3; and/or = 0.1 mV in other leads in both genders
Minimum age
18 Years

Study design
Purpose of the study
Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Allocation concealment performed by
-sealed opaque envelopes
-central randomisation by computer
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Sequence generation performed by
-simple randomisation by using a randomisation table created by computer software (i.e. computerised sequence generation)
-permuted block randomisation

Allocation stratification will be by
-myocardial infarct territory (i.e. anterior infarcts vs. non-anterior infarcts)
Masking / blinding
Blinded (masking used)
Who is / are masked / blinded?
