[How to reduce reperfusion time in ST elevation myocardial infarction?].
For patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), most hospitals do not achieve recommended reperfusion time delay. The goal of this article is to discuss the several strategies allowing to reduce delay to reperfusion (e.g., pre-hospital ECG, early activation of catheterisation laboratory), in order to help each institution to develop its own protocol.
