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

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 …

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

The impact of time to treatment on outcomes after primary percutaneous coronary
intervention (PCI) is controversial, and there are few data about time to treatment and infarct …

Background Despite large reductions in door-to-balloon times over the period, several
studies from regional and national data showed that annual mortality rates were not …

Objectives: Our objective was to evaluate the impact of door-to-balloon time (DBT) on
mortality depending on clinical risk and time to presentation. Background: DBT affects the …

Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the optimal method of reperfusion when
performed expeditiously. Factors contributing to delays in PCI for ST-segment elevation …

Objectives The purpose of this study was to quantify the effect of time delays to reperfusion
on ventricular function after myocardial infarction. This allows one to identify a group of …

Background—Time to treatment with thrombolytic therapy is a critical determinant of mortality
in acute myocardial infarction. Little is known about the relationship between the time to …

In the treatment of acute myocardial infarction, delayed reperfusion therapy is associated
with increased mortality. Predictors of delay have been described for fibrinolysis but not for …
