ST-Segment Analysis Using Wireless Technology in Acute Myocardial Infarction (STAT-MI) Trial

ST-Segment Analysis Using Wireless Technology in Acute Myocardial Infarction (STAT-MI) Trial Vivek N. Dhruva, Samir I. Abdelhadi, Ather Anis, William Gluckman, David Hom, William Dougan, Edo Kaluski, Bunyad Haider, Marc Klapholz We sought to examine the effects of implementing a completely automated wireless network in reducing door-to-intervention times (D2I) in STEMI. Electrocardiograms were simultaneously transmitted from the field to the emergency department and offsite cardiologists. Improvement was seen in mean door-to-cardiologist notification (−14.6 min vs. 61.4 min, p < 0.001), door-to-arterial access (47.6 min vs. 108.1 min, p < 0.001), and D2I times (80.1 min vs. 145.6 min, p < 0.001) compared with 2005 data. A fully automated wireless network can decrease D2I times to
