Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluates disparities in access to reperfusion therapies and 30-day mortality rates among ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients receiving care from Brazil’s Unified Health System in the seven health regions of Sergipe.
- - Out of 844 patients analyzed, only 45.8% underwent primary angioplasty, and the overall use of fibrinolytics was very low at 2.6%, indicating underutilization across the state.
- - The results showed a significant delay in accessing the hospital capable of providing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI), with an average time of nearly 22 hours, while the total 30-day mortality rate was 12.8%, consistent across all regions
