Does door-to-device time predict treatment outcomes in STEMI patients undergoing PPCI?
Shorter door-to-device time (<60 minutes) is critical for improving outcomes such as LVEF and CCU stay duration in STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI.
While baseline characteristics showed minimal impact, DTD time significantly predicted worse outcomes, including prolonged CCU stays, reduced LVEF, and myocardial injury. These findings emphasize the critical importance of reducing DTD time (<60 minutes) through optimized emergency protocols to improve STEMI management outcomes.
