Evolution of REperfusion Strategies and impact on mortality in Old and Very OLD STEMI patients. The RESOVOLD-e-MUST study.

Background: The use of myocardial reperfusion-mainly via angioplasty-has increased in our region to over 95%. We wondered whether old and very old patients have benefited from this development.

Methods: Setting: Greater Paris Area (Ile-de-France).

Effect of age, gender, and time of day on pain-to-call times in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction: the CLOC’AGE study.

Background: The time lapse between onset of symptoms and a call to an emergency dispatch center (pain-to-call time) is a critical prognostic factor in patients with chest pain. It is therefore important to identify factors related to delays in calling for help.

Objectives: To analyze whether age, gender, or time of day influence the pain-to-call delay in patients with acute STsegment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

Decision to deploy coronary reperfusion is not affected by the volume of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients managed by prehospital emergency medical teams.

Objective: Mortality in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has been associated with the volume of activity of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) facilities. This observational study investigated whether the coronary reperfusion-decision rate is associated with the volume of activity in a prehospital emergency setting.

Methods: Prospectively collected data for the period 2003-2013 were extracted from a regional registry of all STEMI patients handled by eight dispatch centers (SAMUs) in and around Paris [41 mobile ICU (MICUs)].

Incidence, Mortality, and Outcome-Predictors of Sudden Cardiac Arrest Complicating Myocardial Infarction Prior to Hospital Admission.

Background: Mortality of ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) decreased drastically, mainly through reduction in inhospital mortality. Prehospital sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) became one of the most feared complications. We assessed the incidence, outcome, and prognosis' predictors of prehospital SCA occurring after emergency medical services (EMS) arrival.

Evolution of ST-Elevation Acute Myocardial Infarction Prevalence by Gender Assessed Age Pyramid Analysis-The Piramyd Study.

Introduction: Recent studies reported a decrease in the incidence of acute myocardial infarction. This favorable evolution does not extend to young women. The interaction between gender, risk factors and myocardial infarction incidence remains controversial.
