Key result
The mobile cloud electrocardiography system significantly reduced mean door-to-balloon time to 70 minutes compared to 96 minutes with the conventional diagnostic system in patients with acute coronary syndrome.
Why the study?
Few studies had reported the usefulness of the mobile cloud electrocardiography system for reducing door-to-balloon time across a wide provincial prefecture in Japan.
Does a prehospital mobile cloud electrocardiography system reduce door-to-balloon time in patients with acute coronary syndrome?
Observational (n=86)
Yes
Does a prehospital mobile cloud electrocardiography system reduce door-to-balloon time in patients with acute coronary syndrome?
Absolute Event Rate: 70% vs 96%
p-value: p=<0.005
Implementation of a prehospital mobile cloud ECG system across a wide provincial area significantly reduces door-to-balloon and door-to-catheterization times for patients with acute coronary syndrome.
May support C-ECG for DTB reduction in wide areas; leaves open larger confirmatory studies.
Background:The mobile cloud electrocardiography (C-ECG) system is useful for reducing door-to-balloon (DTB) time in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), but few studies have reported the usefulness of the C-ECG system across a wide provincial prefecture, such as Oita, in Japan.

Yufu et al. (2019) conducted an observational in Acute coronary syndrome (n=86). Mobile cloud electrocardiography (C-ECG) system vs. Conventional diagnostic system (transport without C-ECG) was evaluated on Door-to-balloon (DTB) time in minutes (p=<0.005). The mobile cloud electrocardiography system significantly reduced mean door-to-balloon time to 70 minutes compared to 96 minutes with the conventional diagnostic system in patients with acute coronary syndrome.
