| Main Objective: To investigatre the effect of pre-hospital treatment with a high bolus dosage of Tirofiban (in addition to Aspirin, Heparin and 600 mg Clopidogrel) on the extent of residual ST segment deviation 1 hour after Primary Coronary Angioplasty for acute myocardial infarction, compared to no pre-treatment (besides Aspirin, Heparin and 600 mg Clopidogrel).;Secondary Objective: 1. To investigate the effect of pre-hospital treatment with a high bolus dosage of Tirofiban on the incidence of the combined occurrence of death, recurrent MI, urgent TVR or thrombotic bailout at 30 days follow-up, compared to no pre-treatment. 2. To investigate the effect of pre-hospital treatment with a high bolus dosage of Tirofiban on the incidence of major bleeding compared to no pre-treatment. 3. To investigate the effect of pre-hospital treatment with a high bolus dosage of Tirofiban on the incidence of TIMI 3 flow of the infarct related vessel (IRV) at initial angiography, compared to no pre-treatment.;Primary end point(s): To investigate the effect of pre-treatment with 25 microgram/kg bolus and maintenance infusion Tirofiban on the amount of residual cumulative ST deviation 1 hour after Primary Coronary Angioplasty for acute mypcardial infarction, compared to no pre-treatment. The absolute level of the ST segment deviation will be measured by digital caliper to the nearest 0.01 mv 20ms after the end of the QRS interval using the TP segment as isoclectic baseline. | — |
