Objectives: The need for primary percutaneous coronary intervention in hospitals without hemodynamic support capability is associated with delays between first medical contact (FMC) and reperfusion. It is important to identify factors involved in delays, particularly if they are relevant to the organization of emergency services.
Material And Methods: Analysis of a registry of patients treated in hospitals without advanced hemodynamic support systems in a catchment area with an established care network for acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
Background: Coronary calcium score (CCS) and coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) assessments using multidetector computed tomography are invaluable for atheromatosis screening. We studied their usefulness in cardiovascular risk assessments, and compared evaluations using the Systematic COronary Risk Evaluation (SCORE) algorithm with those from CTA and CSS assessments in terms of their ability to predict cardiovascular events in Mediterranean patients.
Patients And Methods: Two hundred and sixty-six asymptomatic patients whose mean age was 55.
Objectives: To analyze agreement between diagnoses issued by the Mediktor application and those of an attending physician, and to evaluate the usefulness of this application in patients who seek emergency care.
Material And Methods: Prospective observational study in a tertiary care university hospital emergency department. Patients with medical problems and surgical conditions (surgery and injuries) who did not require immediate emergency care responded to the Mediktor questions on a portable computer tablet.
Introduction And Objectives: The benefit of primary angioplasty may be reduced if there are delays to reperfusion. Identification of the variables associated with these delays could improve health care.
Methods: Analysis of the Codi Infart registry of Catalonia and of the time to angioplasty depending on the place of first medical contact.
