The enrollment continued for 12 months \- period I \(19.04.2004– 19.04.2005\), before the introduction of the 24\/7 primary PCI service and 15months – period II \(8.08.2005 – 19.10.2006\), after the introduction of the 24\/7primary PCI service. The registered patients were divided into four groups\: STEMIgroup in period I \(n = 115\), NSTEMI group in period I \(n = 113\), STEMI group inperiod II \(n = 111\), NSTEMI group in period II \(n = 112\). The STEMI patients inperiod I received non\-invasive treatment \(n = 59\), facilitated PCI \(n = 32\) and lytics\- streptokinase \(n = 24\), but during period II all the patients underwent the primaryPCI. The NSTEMI patients in period I underwent coronary angio"]
