Time From Distress Call to Percutaneous Coronary Intervention and Outcomes in Myocardial Infarction.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Early percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is recommended for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treatment. Delays in time-to-PCI, kept within guideline recommendations, have seldom been investigated.

Objectives

The purpose of this study was to investigate the consequences of delay, due to system factors or hospital distance, for the time between last patient distress call and PCI.

Methods

Registry-based cohort study including times of first call to medical services, admission and PCI for patients admitted with STEMI in Copenhagen, Denmark (2014-2018). The main combined outcome included death, recurrent myocardial infarction, or heart failure estimated at 30 days and 1 year from event. Outcomes according to time from call to PCI (system
