Suggests strategies to boost acute-phase involvement in remote MI settings; hypothesis-generating for effects on outcomes.
How do patients in areas without local PCI facilities experience patient participation in different phases of the myocardial infarction pathway?
Patients experiencing myocardial infarction in areas without local PCI facilities report low participation in the acute phase but high participation during rehabilitation, highlighting the need for earlier patient involvement.
