Observational Study
Prehospital electrocardiogram shortens ischaemic time in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.
Total ischaemic time should be shortened as much as possible in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). This study evaluated whether prehospital 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) could shorten system delay in STEMI management. ⋯ Prehospital ECG shortened ischaemic time prior to hospital admission.
