Failure of Thrombolysis with Streptokinase In Acute Myocardial Infarction Using ECG Criteria: An Observational Study. JK Science Journal of Medical Education and Research. 2015 Jul-Sept. 17(3): 123-126.http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/179364Abstract To Study failure of thrombolysis with streptokinase in acute myocardial infarction using E.C.G criteria a prospective study of patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction in G.M.C Jammu for a period of one year. A total of 220 patients who presented with acute myocardial infarction were included in the study . Out of 220 patients 193(87.7%) males and 27 (12.3%) females participated in the study. All the patients underwent thrombolysis with streptokinase. Out of 220 patients who were being thrombolysed with streptokinase, most of them (97; 41.1%) were in the age group of 56-65 years. Out of all the patients who underwent thrombolysis (n=220), thrombolytic failure was observed in 121 (55%) patients. Failure rate was significantly higher in the age group of 56-65 years (88; 72.7%). Significantly higher prevalence of thrombolytic failure with streptokinase was observed among diabetic patients (65.2% ) as compared to non diabetics (52.3%).enThrombolysisStreptokinaseAcute Myocardial InfarctionArticle
