Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether erythropoietin can help limit the damage to the heart in patients with acute heart attacks.

Eligibility Criteria

  • INCLUSION CRITERIA:

Age greater than 21 years

Acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction

Referral for primary or rescue angioplasty
