What are the frequency and predictors of delayed presentation and missed reperfusion therapy in STEMI patients in the Arab Middle East, and how do they impact in-hospital mortality?
What are the frequency and predictors of delayed presentation and missed reperfusion therapy in STEMI patients in the Arab Middle East, and how do they impact in-hospital mortality?
A significant proportion of STEMI patients in the Arab Middle East experience delayed presentation or missed reperfusion therapy, which is associated with increased in-hospital mortality and highlights the need for improved awareness and systems of care.
