Population

ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients, particularly those presenting to non-PCI-capable hospitals in the US

Intervention

Systems of care strategies to increase timely access to primary PCI (developing PCI services without on-site surgery, rapid transfer protocols, or bypassing non-PCI hospitals)

This review outlines strategies and recommendations for developing systems of care to improve timely access to primary PCI for STEMI patients presenting to non-PCI-capable hospitals.
