Optimizing Door-to-Balloon Time for Patients Undergoing Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention at King Abdullah Medical City.

Background: The acute myocardial infarction mortality risk rises by 8% per year for every 30-minute delay in early coronary intervention following the onset of symptoms. Thus, it is important to reduce the door-to-balloon time as much as possible, especially in hospitals where early coronary intervention is carried out within 90 minutes.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of King Abdullah Medical City's strategies on balloon time for patients with ST elevation myocardial infraction.

Physiotherapists' Attitudes, and Barriers of Delivering Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation for Patients with Heart Failure in Saudi Arabia: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: Cardiopulmonary rehabilitation (CR) is an effective management approach for heart failure (HF) patients and is delivered by multidisciplinary teams including physiotherapists (PTs). PT attitudes about delivering CR and barriers that might affect referral have not been explored. Thus, this study is aimed to explore PT attitudes about delivering CR programs to patients with HF and identify factors and barriers that might affect referral decisions.
