Transfer Times and Outcomes in ST-Elevations Myocardial Infarction Patients Undergoing Inter-Hospital Transfer for Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: APEX-AMI Insights

摘要

BackgroundTransfer delays for primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) may increase mortality in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). We examined the association between door 1 to door 2 (D1D2) time, a measure capturing the entire transfer process, and outcomes in patients undergoing inter-hospital transfer for primary PCI.
