	Initial treatment of STEMI is relief of ischemic pain, ~~stabilize~~ the hemodynamic status ~~and~~ restoration of coronary flow and myocardial tissue perfusion. Reperfusion therapy should be initiated as quickly as possible within 12 hours after symptom onset by preferably primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or otherwise fibrinolysis. Meanwhile other measures as continuous cardiac monitoring, oxygen and intravenous access are necessary to guarantee the safety of the patient. <Cite>REFNAME18</Cite>		Initial treatment of STEMI is relief of ischemic pain, stabilization of the hemodynamic status, restoration of coronary flow, and myocardial tissue perfusion.
