Approximately 3-4% Indians in rural areas and 8-10 % in urban areas have CAD4 . The growth of CAD is also observed in the poor and middle aged Indians which is a reason for concern5 . ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in one of the serious complication of CAD, resulting from sudden occlusive thrombus formation in the epicardial coronary arteries1 .
