A 58-year-old man has chest pain at 9:30 a.m.; 3 hours later, he calls for an ambulance. Paramedics arrive, provide standard treatment, and transport him to the nearest emergency department. On his arrival at a small hospital at 1 p.m., the findings are diagnostic of a myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation. The emergency department physician recommends immediate transfer to a hospital 1 hour away for primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Emergency Management Strategies for Acute Myocardial Infarction - "Code R" at LGH
TLDR
An emergency response system known as ‘Code R’ that organizes all those involved in AMI care has reduced the delay between presentation and treatment of patients who present with AMI.
Optimizing care for ST-elevation myocardial infarction patients: application of systems engineering
TLDR
Establishment of regional systems of STEMI care was strongly recommended in order to facilitate the achievement of these time-to-treatment goals, including primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) as the preferred reperfusion strategy.
A Rare Cause of ST-Segment Elevation
TLDR
A 45 year-old female with recurred breast cancer was pre-cancerous and a very rare case with ST-segment elevation from cancer invasion to the right ventricle and interventricular septum is reported.
Prehospital identification of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and mortality (ANZACS-QI 61)
TLDR
Although patients with STEMI not suspected of an ACS diagnosis by paramedics had the highest mortality rate, this is largely explained by the different risk profile of these patients.
Experience and Outcomes of Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Patients with ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction of Tertiary Care Center in Bosnia and Herzegovina
TLDR
The study has shown feasibility and efficiency in performing of primary PCI with good outcomes in the first regional interventional center in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Percutaneous coronary intervention, comorbidities, and mortality among emergency department-admitted ST-elevation myocardial infarction patients in Florida.
TLDR
Same-day PCI markedly reduced the risk of in-hospital mortality among STEMI patients after multivariate adjustment, and serious comorbidities and complications, older age, and female gender continued to predict elevated risk of mortality after control for treatment status.

One-Month Clinical Outcomes of ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction Patients Undergoing Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention at a High-volume Cardiac Tertiary Center: Routine Hours Versus Off-hours
TLDR
It is found that STEMI patients treated with primary angioplasty during off-hour shifts had similar 1-month clinical outcomes to routine-hourshift shifts, and full-time provision of primary PCI services seems to be beneficial.
Time to treatment in primary percutaneous coronary intervention.
TLDR
A review examines the strategies for reducing door-to-balloon time and for selecting the appropriate reperfusion therapy, especially when a delay is unavoidable, among patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction.
Impact of a rapid access protocol on decreasing door-to-balloon time in acute ST elevation myocardial infarction.
TLDR
In the authors' region, implementation of an EMS protocol for rapid access to PCI significantly reduced time to reperfusion for patients with STEMI.

TLDR
Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has gained widespread acceptance as the preferred approach for treating ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) when it can be performed rapidly at qualified centers, and is particularly beneficial in women and the elderly.

Impact of Renal Insufficiency in Patients Undergoing Primary Angioplasty for Acute Myocardial Infarction
TLDR
Baseline RI in patients with AMI undergoing primary PCI is associated with a markedly increased risk of mortality, as well as bleeding and restenosis, and novel approaches are needed to improve the otherwise poor prognosis of patients with RI and AMI.

Driving Times and Distances to Hospitals With Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in the United States: Implications for Prehospital Triage of Patients With ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction
TLDR
Nearly 80% of the adult population in the United States lived within 60 minutes of a PCI hospital in 2000, and even among those living closer to non-PCI hospitals, almost three fourths would experience <30 minutes of additional delay with direct referral to a PCIhospital, which suggests that such a strategy might be feasible for these individuals.
