Objective This study aims to determine the relationship between door-to-balloon delay in
primary percutaneous coronary intervention and ST-elevation myocardial infarction (MI) …

Background Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has become a major cause of hospitalization

with the delays among patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in …

Background Pre-hospital delay is currently a major factor limiting early reperfusion among
ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients worldwide. This study aims to determine …

Background: While contributors to system delay in ST-elevation myocardial infarction
(STEMI) are well described, predictors of patient-related delays are less clear. The aim of …
