Introduction:
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is now the leading cause of death and disability globally, causing 7 million deaths in 2010 compared with 5.2 million in 1990.

The patients who underwent thrombolysis within 3hours of window period had favourable outcome in the form of that 53% of them were advised medical management.
