Early administration of reperfusion therapy improves survival among patients with ST-
elevation myocardial infarction. For primary percutaneous intervention, a goal of 90 minutes …

Currently accepted standards for gauging quality of care in the treatment of ST-segment
elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) mainly focus on shortening the time to treatment …

Background Recent reductions in average door-to-balloon (D2B) times have not been
associated with decreases in mortality at the population level. We investigated this …

Background—Although the relationship between mortality and time delay to treatment has
been demonstrated in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction …

ContextCardiogenic shock remains the major cause of death for patients hospitalized with
acute myocardial infarction (MI). Although survival in patients with cardiogenic shock …

Objective To evaluate the association between door-to-balloon time and mortality in hospital
in patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention for ST elevation …

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of door-to-balloon time with
primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on late cardiac mortality. Background: The …

Background In patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) who are
undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention, current guidelines for reperfusion therapy …

BACKGROUND: The impact of treatment delays on outcomes after primary percutaneous
coronary intervention for acute myocardial infarction is controversial. METHODS: The …

Aims We investigated the net benefit in the outcome of reducing treatment delay through
