Boehringer-Ingelheim UK Ltd provided the study drugs (alteplase 10 mg, 20 mg and matched placebo). T-TIME was supported by grant 12/170/4 from the Efficacy and Mechanism Evaluation (EME) programme of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR-EME). CB is supported by grants from the British Heart Foundation (RE/7 FS/3). CB is guarantor.įunding AMM is funded by a fellowship from the British Heart Foundation (FS/3). KAAF, RCT and NC contributed to interpreting the data and revising the work critically for intellectual content. JG, KGO, MM, CB, DM, SC, AHG, CA, HE, JC, AW and NC contributed to data acquisition. PMcC and CB analysed the magnetic resonance images. AMM, PD and AM performed the statistical analyses. AMM, CB and MM performed the angiogram analyses. AMM and CB conceived the idea for the manuscript.

'TIMI risk' estimates mortality following acute coronary syndromes. % risk at 14 days of: all-cause mortality, new or recurrent MI, or severe recurrent ischemia requiring urgent revascularization. ST changes of at least 0.5mm on admission EKG At least 2 angina episodes within the last 24hrs Or female first-degree relative or mother less than 65). (CAD in male first-degree relative, or father less than 55, Such as: Hypertension -> 140/90 or on antihypertensives, Known Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) (coronary stenosis >= 50%) Aspirin use in the last 7 days (patient experiences chest pain despite ASA use in past 7days) TIMI Score Calculation (1 point for each): It is used to categorize a patient's risk of death and ischemic events and provides a basis for therapeutic decision making. The TIMI Risk Score is used in patients with U nstable Angina / Non-ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction. It has conducted numerous practice-changing clinical trials in patients with cardiovascular disease or risk factors for cardiovascular disease TIMI stands for ' Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction' and is the name of an Academic Research Organization (ARO) which was founded by Dr.
