• The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines recommend primary PCI as
the preferred treatment whenever it is available within 90-120 minutes of the
first medical contact

Europe: description of the current situation in 30 countries. Eur. Heart.J.doi:10.1093/eurheartj/ehp492
Stent for Life Initiative Objectives
1. Define regions/countries with an unmet medical need in
the optimal treatment of ACS.
2. Implement an action program to increase patient access
to primary PCI where indicated:
– To increase the use of primary PCI to more than
70% among all ST segment elevation myocardial
infarction patients,
– To offer 24/7 service for primary PCI procedures
at all invasive facilities to cover the country
STEMI population need.

Stent for Life Initiative: ESC STEMI Guidelines Implementation
in Countries - Key Learning Points
• Integrate SFL into National Cardiology Program
• Engage all stakeholders e.g. physicians, politicians, payers and
patients’ organizations
• Build Regional Network and Infrastructure (EMS)
• Establish National ACS/AMI Registry
• Increase Disease Awareness (Educational campaign to
government, payers and lay public)

Leading Example for Other Geographies
SFL Member Countries
Bulgaria, Cyprus, Egypt, France, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Spain, Turkey,
Ukraine, Bosnia and Herzegovina

ACT NOW.SAVE A LIFE
Campaign Objective
Increase awareness of heart attack symptoms and
the urgency of treatment among Europeans
A key barrier in every country is lack of action to
urgently call an ambulance as soon as heart attack
symptoms are observed

Summary - options and ideas for cross border cooperation in
access to primary angioplasty
Specific to cross-border regions
• Generate political will based on saving citizens’ heart muscle
• Establish agreements to minimise delays for patients of border zones
to facilitate more rapid access to 24/7 primary angioplasty centres
• Carry out research and collect additional data to identify border
regions which could benefit from greater cross-border collaboration
• Identify cross-border and regional networks that are already working
well and encourage transfer of best practices to other regions
• Identify and rank criteria necessary for successful cross-border pPCI
networks
Europe-wide
•
Endorse and support the principle of pPCI networks across Europe
•
Encourage use of a unified, EU-wide 112 emergency response
number
•
Support coordinated action to raise standards to the level of the best
performing Member States
