The impact of processes of care on myocardial infarct size in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction: observations from the CRISP-AMI trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the most common method of reperfusion in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in the United States. The intersection between processes of care and performance measures such as door-to-balloon (D2B) times and clinical trials evaluating novel therapies for STEMI has not been fully investigated.

Hypothesis

Processes of STEMI care, incorporating clinical trial enrollment and randomization, in patients undergoing reperfusion with primary PCI in the Counterpulsation Reduces Infarct Size Pre-Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Acute Myocardial Infarction trial (CRISP-AMI) will conform to current standards of care.

Methods

Patients enrolled in CRISP-AMI were included in the current analy
