Multicenter Study Observational Study
Association between time to percutaneous coronary intervention and hospital mortality in non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction: a prospective multicenter observational study.
This study aimed to investigate the association between time to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and hospital mortality in non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). ⋯ Percutaneous coronary intervention earlier than 6 hours after ED presentation was associated with higher hospital mortality than PCI 6 hours later in NSTEMI. However, the effect disappeared in the long S2D group.
