Suspect heart attack--you head to the hospital pronto. The trial involves injecting the drug immediately, then going to the hospital. The placebo arm gets exactly the same treatment everyone would get now--rush to the hospital. This drug is purely about trying to keep the heart alive long enough to reach the hospital. A hospital with a cath lab is a far better treatment than this drug--but you can't put that in your pocket.
