Key result
STEMI door-to-balloon time shows no correlation with hospital stay length or in-hospital mortality.
Why the study?
Adequate door-to-balloon time (≤ 90 minutes) is crucial to improve care quality in STEMI patients, but data from northern Brazil are lacking.
Cross-Sectional (n=109)
No
This study evaluates the door-to-balloon time for STEMI patients in a northern Brazilian hospital to assess the quality of cardiovascular emergency care.
Exceeding door-to-balloon targets lacked short-term outcome links here; leaves open whether delays affect mortality in larger prospective cohorts.

Amoras et al. (2020) conducted a cross-sectional in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) (n=109). Door-to-balloon time was evaluated on Door-to-balloon time. The median door-to-balloon time for STEMI patients was 104 minutes, exceeding the recommended 90 minutes, and showed no significant correlation with length of hospital stay or in-hospital mortality.
