STEMI care in Barbados- focus on systems of care and urgent care management.
Data from the Barbados national registry of noncommunicable diseases (BNR) reveal that the mortality from myocardial infarction in Barbados is unacceptable high: higher than that of most developed countries. In this CME, we explore that management of myocardial infarction in Barbados, with special focus on ST elevation myocardial infarction: from pathophysiology, systems of care and particularly management in the out-of-hospital/urgent care setting.
In the second half the day we will conduct a workshop/ roundtable on barriers and solutions for implementation of a thrombolytic care pathway
This CME builds on the 2022 CME event and will further explore ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) treatment in Barbados, its pathophysiology, contemporary management, treatment outside the hospital and more. Barbados is seeking to make specific treatments for myocardial infarction available at several private emergency facilities, saving more lives.
This programme is lead by Dr. Dawn Scantlebury, Interventional Cardiologist, Barbados.
