Background: The impact of patient delay on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), when system delay has performance that meets the current recommended guidelines, is poorly investigated.
Methods: We evaluated a cohort of STEMI patients treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) and with an ECG STEMI diagnosis to wire crossing time (ETW) ≤120 min. Independent predictors of pre-discharge decreased LVEF (≤45%) were analyzed.
