Abstract
Care-coordination platforms may optimize ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treatment delays. This study aimed to assess the impact of Stenoa use on treatment delays in STEMI patients. We conducted a retrospective cohort study on local STEMI cases for the period between September 2020 and March 2023, comparing the times from first medical contact to device, before vs after the implementation of the Stenoa platform by the catheterization laboratory (cath-lab) and emergency department. A total of 180 patients were included. Significant reductions were found in times from first medical contact to electrocardiogram, from electrocardiogram to cath-lab activation, and from cath-lab activation to cath-lab arrival (P = 0.02, P = 0.04, and P = 0.02, respectively), after the platform was implemented. These findings suggest that use of Stenoa reduces STEMI door-to-balloon–time components.
