Abstract
Background: Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is recommended within 90 min of first medical contact. Those without pre-hospital notification (PN) are less likely to meet reperfusion targets and are an understudied subset of the STEMI population. Methods: An observational cohort study from a multicentre PCI registry of consecutive patients undergoing primary PCI for STEMI between 2012 and 2017. Exclusion criteria included out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, prior thrombolysis, symptom onset >12 h prior, and cardiogenic shock. Results: 2519 patients were included: 1392 (55.3%) without PN (no-PN group) and 1127 (44.7%) with..
