From Door‐to‐Balloon Time to Contact‐to‐Device Time: Predictors of Achieving Target Times in Patients With <scp>ST</scp>‐Elevation Myocardial Infarction

Abstract

In STEMI patients, PHT was associated with significantly reduced C2D and D2B times and was an independent predictor of achieving a target C2D time. As centers adapt to the new guidelines emphasizing C2D time, targeting a shorter D2B time (<50 minutes) is ideal to achieve a C2D time of <90 minutes.
