Acute management of ST-elevation myocardial infarction in a tertiary hospital in Kenya: Are we complying with practice guidelines? Phase active de prise en charge des infarctus du myocarde avec élévation du segment ST dans un hôpital tertiaire au Kenya. Les directives pratiques sont-elles respectées?
