Reperfusion Times and Outcomes in Patients With ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction Presenting Without Pre-Hospital Notification
Abstract
Background
Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is recommended within 90 min of first medical contact. Those without pre-hospital notification (PN) are less likely to meet reperfusion targets and are an understudied subset of the STEMI population.
