Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyA randomized clinical trial to reduce patient prehospital delay to treatment in acute coronary syndrome.
Delay from onset of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) symptoms to hospital admission continues to be prolonged. To date, community education campaigns on the topic have had disappointing results. Therefore, we conducted a clinical randomized trial to test whether an intervention tailored specifically for patients with ACS and delivered one-on-one would reduce prehospital delay time. ⋯ clinicaltrials.gov.
