Why Time Critical Diagnosis Matters Prompt treatment reduces death and disability. STEMI Shorter time from door-to-balloon (PCI) - lower risk of mortality – Moving towards first medical contact to balloon Symptom onset to treatment time greater than 4 hours independent predictor of one-year mortality Faster treatment and lower in-hospital mortality associated with hospital “specialization” and emphasis on PCI as principal mode of reperfusion Right Care.
