Key result
Total ischemic time independently tracks clinical outcomes beyond door-to-balloon time in STEMI.
Why the study?
Although door to balloon (DTB) time is a well-established determinant of in-hospital outcome and long-term morbidity and mortality in ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI), the significance of total ischemic time (TIT) remains debatable.
Population
Patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction

Assesses the association between total ischemic time and outcomes in ST-elevation myocardial infarction, highlighting clinical metrics beyond door-to-balloon time.
Door to balloon (DTB) time is a well established determinant of in-hospital outcome and long-term morbidity and mortality in the ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI), however, significance of total ischemic time (TIT) is debatable. Therefore, aim of this study was to evaluate the association
