Key result
In patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction in Northern Minas Gerais, reperfusion therapy was performed in only 46.0% of cases, and in-hospital mortality was high at 17.2%.
Observational (n=593)
Yes
There is a low reperfusion rate and limited adherence to recommended ACS treatments in the Northern Region of Minas Gerais, Brazil, leading to high in-hospital mortality.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Low reperfusion rates coincide with high STEMI mortality; leaves open barriers to timely care and need for targeted interventions.
Marino et al. (2016) conducted an observational in Acute Coronary Syndrome (n=593). Standard care for Acute Coronary Syndrome was evaluated on Reperfusion therapy rate in STEMI patients. In patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction in Northern Minas Gerais, reperfusion therapy was performed in only 46.0% of cases, and in-hospital mortality was high at 17.2%.
