Ventricular arrhythmia is a critical and challenging cardiovascular complication of myocardial infarction (MI). An electrical storm (ES), characterised by three or more episodes of sustained ventricular arrhythmia within 24 hours, poses a significant life-threatening risk. Standard management includes advanced life support (ALS) protocols and specialised pharmacological interventions.

Background: At a global level, regional variation in the management of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is influenced by patient demographics and geography. Rural patients with STEMI are disadvantaged in reaching timely care owing to distance and limited ambulance and healthcare resources. Optimising models of STEMI care is key to overcoming the excess rural vs metropolitan cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

Background: Repatriation of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) is common in regional health care programs. We examined the short- and long-term safety of early repatriation after PPCI in stable STEMI patients.
Methods: Consecutive stable STEMI patients undergoing PPCI between 2016 to 2018 in the Fraser Health Authority were included.

Background: Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PPCI) is the preferred treatment for ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) patients in both PCI centers and those transferred from non-PCI centers, provided it can be performed in a timely manner. The challenges in transferring patients from non-PCI centers include not only potential delays beyond 120 min but also the risk of overwhelming the resources at the PPCI hospital. We report a novel strategy implemented within the Serdang STEMI Network involving immediate transfer of patients back to the originating hospitals within 2 h post procedure.

This study aimed to compare the effects of different hospital admission modes to on the time metrics of patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). It also examined the effects of these modes on in-hospital mortality and other influencing factors.
