Time Equals Myocardium: Are We in Time?

Issue: 
Vol 59, issue 6 (2010)
Pages: 
680–5
Synopsis: 
Early reperfusion is critical to salvaging infarcting myocardium. We have explored the time delay in patients receiving thrombolysis and have found there are significant delays in patients getting to a thrombolysis centre and receiving thrombolysis once they have arrived.

ABSTRACT


Objective: To determine the door to thrombolysis time of patients who presented to the Adult Priority Care Facility of the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex from February 1 – May 31, 2008.
