Structured PICO

Does shorter symptom onset-to-balloon time reduce mortality in STEMI patients treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention?

Population

STEMI patients treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI)

Intervention

Shorter symptom onset-to-balloon time

Outcome

Mortality in the first seven yearshard clinical

Shorter symptom onset-to-balloon time predicts lower long-term mortality in STEMI patients treated with PPCI, emphasizing the importance of minimizing treatment delays.

Abstract

Shorter symptom onset-to-balloon time predicts long-term lower mortality in STEMI patients treated with PPCI. Our findings emphasise the need to minimise any component of treatment delay.
