Low AMI knowledge may delay care in older, less-educated adults; hypothesis-generating for targeted education campaigns.

Structured PICO

Population

9,600 adult men and women aged 19-79 years, residents of 16 metropolitan cities and provinces in South Korea. Mean age 45.1 years, 49.7% male.

Outcome

Awareness of early symptoms of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and knowledge of appropriate responses (calling an ambulance) upon symptom occurrence.

Public awareness of early AMI symptoms and the appropriate emergency response is poor in South Korea, highlighting a critical need for targeted educational campaigns, particularly for the elderly and those with lower education levels.
