ABSTRACT
Although many efforts have been made to prevent death from acute myocardial infarction (MI) by quick revascularization therapy and use of mechanical circulation support devices, and to prevent the occurrence of acute MI by optimal medical therapy, acute MI is still a leading cause of death worldwide. Because the majority of fatal MI cases occur outside hospital and death occurs so rapidly after MI onset, it is difficult to effectively prevent deaths from acute MI by improving the in-hospital treatment strategy of acute MI or by reducing the prehospital delay in the treatment. Therefore, we need a new strategy to prevent death from acute MI, mainly by preventing the occurrence of acute MI itself. In this review, we summarize the present status and propose a new strategy, the "STOP MI Campaign", to prevent acute MI by public education.
