An Evaluation of the Accuracy of Emergency Physician Activation of the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory for Patients With Suspected ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction
Annals of Emergency Medicine, 09/24/09
Kontos MC et al. – A significant number of emergency physician STEMI cardiac catheterization laboratory activations are for patients who did not meet standard STEMI criteria. However, most had ECG findings and symptoms that lead to emergency angiography, had significant disease, or were diagnosed with non–STEMI. Only a small percentage of patients received unnecessary cardiac catheterization laboratory activations.
