Current options for reperfusion therapy in patients admitted to a community hospital without
cardiac catheterization facilities include administration of fibrinolytic drugs followed by …

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

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

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 …

Objectives: We sought to determine the effect of door-to-balloon time on mortality for patients
with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous …

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

Background We hypothesized that percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) preceded by
early treatment with abciximab plus half-dose reteplase (combination-facilitated PCI) or with …

Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate the relationship between symptom-onset-to-
balloon time and one-year mortality in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial …

Background—The aim of this study was to create a practical score for risk stratification in
patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated with primary …

Background—The purpose of this study was to determine whether implementation of recent
guidelines improves in-hospital mortality from acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction …
