[Turin Network Project: global management of acute myocardial infarction first hours in the hospital territory. First results and the primary angioplasty registry, 2001].
In a previous paper we described a project of a telematic network in the area of Turin, aimed at decreasing acute myocardial infarction mortality, reducing the treatment delay, and facilitating the access to primary angioplasty. Here we present the Metropolitan Primary Angioplasty Registry, as a first result of the project, and the state of art of the network development, including facilities for electrocardiographic remote transmission.
