Abstract:ObjectivesEarlier electrocardiogram (ECG) acquisition for ST‐elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is associated with earlier percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and better patient outcomes. However, the exact relationship between timely ECG and timely PCI is unclear.MethodsWe quantified the influence of door‐to‐ECG (D2E) time on ECG‐to‐PCI balloon (E2B) intervention in this three‐year retrospective cohort study, including patients from 10 geographically diverse emergency departments (EDs) co‐located wi… Show more
