AEM Early Access 81:Initial Treatment of Uninsured Patients with ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction by Facility PCI Capabilities AEMEarlyAccess's podcast

    • Medicine

Timely reperfusion is necessary to reduce morbidity and mortality in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Initial care by facilities with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) capabilities reduces time to reperfusion. The authors sought to examine whether insurance status was associated with initial care at EDs with PCI capabilities amongst adult patients with STEMI.
