Taking an ambulance cuts time to reperfusion in STEMI: Australian study
Patients need to know to call an ambulance if they have chest pain, researchers say
Patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) who travel to hospital by ambulance receive reperfusion therapy more quickly, an Australian study shows.
But only 58% of people with STEMI use an ambulance to get to hospital, leading the researchers to call for better public health messaging to encourage patients to dial triple zero.
