The Effectiveness of Mobile Cloud 12-Lead Electrocardiogram Transmission System in Patients with ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction.

ABSTRACT: Backgroundand Objectives: Delay of reperfusion therapy is related to high mortality in cases of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Guidelines emphasize that the first-medical-contact-to-balloon (FMCTB) time should be within 90 min. A mobile cloud-based 12-lead electrocardiogram (MC-ECG) transmission system might be useful in such cases, especially in rural areas. Materials and Methods: From April 2019 to June 2021, both an MC-ECG transmission system and the conventional method in which a physician checks the ECG in a hospital (Conventional) were used for transport by emergency medical services in Shin-Yukuhashi Hospital, Fukuoka, Japan. During this period, 8684 consecutive patients were transported to this hospital. Among them, we investigated 48 STEMI patients. The MC-ECG
