- Has an ECG indicative of an acute STEMI showing:
- ≥ 2 mm ST elevation in 2 or more contiguous precordial ECG leads (anterior infarction); or
- ≥ 1 mm ST elevation in 2 or more contiguous limb ECG leads (other infarction); or
- New or presumably new left bundle branch block (LBBB)
- Shock patients are eligible (but not patients with prolonged cardiac arrest)
- Be willing to provide informed consent (informed consent may be provided by a legally authorized representative if the patient is not able to provide it).
- Agree to comply with all protocol-specified procedures, including protocol-mandated follow-up
Exclusion
- Use of UFH or LMWH or any other anticoagulant agent (Vit K antagonists, fondaparinux, bivalirudin) within 48 hours prior to randomization
- Thrombolytic therapy within the previous 48 hours
- Known or suspected pregnancy in women of childbearing potential
- History of hypersensitivity or contraindication to heparin or LMWH
- Contraindication to primary PCI or any excessive bleeding risk (e.g. recent surgery) or suspected active internal bleeding
- Coexistent condition associated with a limited life expectancy at short term (e.g. advanced cancer)
- Prolonged (\> 10 minutes) cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)
- Treatment with other investigational agents or devices within the previous 30 days, planned use of investigational drugs or devices, or previous enrolment in this trial
