Direct Admission of Patients With ST‐Segment–Elevation Myocardial Infarction to the Catheterization Laboratory Shortens Pain‐to‐Balloon and Door‐to‐Balloon Time Intervals but Only the Pain‐to‐Balloon Interval Impacts Short‐ and Long‐Term Mortality

Direct Admission of Patients With ST‐Segment–Elevation Myocardial Infarction to the Catheterization Laboratory Shortens Pain‐to‐Balloon and Door‐to‐Balloon Time Intervals but Only the Pain‐to‐Balloon Interval Impacts Short‐ and Long‐Term Mortality

Background Shortening the pain‐to‐balloon (P2B) and door‐to‐balloon (D2B) intervals in patients with ST‐segment–elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated by primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) is essential in order to limit myocardial damage. We investigated whether direct admiss...
