Community-Based Pre-Hospital Electrocardiogram Transmission Program for Reducing Systemic Time Delay in Acute ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction.
CONCLUSIONS: We developed and implemented a community-based pre-hospital ECG transmission program for expeditious triage of STEMI patients. Significant reductions of systemic time delay and door-to-balloon time were observed. The expanded use of pre-hospital ECG transmission should be encouraged to realize the full potential of this program.
