Study Summary
Rural Americans are more likely to be unhealthy, older, living in poverty, uninsured, and medically underserved. The CDC has made achieving health equity and improving cardiovascular health for rural Americans one of their Healthy People 2020 overarching goals. ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) is a life-threatening cardiovascular emergency that frequently affects people without warning within the communities the Participants live and work. Patients with STEMI have a linear relationship between first medical contact to Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) time and mortality. Delays are particularly important in STEMI patients with cardiogenic shock, who experience an excess 3.3 deaths per 100 for every 10 minute delay to PCI (for PCI times between 60-180 minutes). Delayed PCI is also associated with a higher rate of long term morbidity, including congestive heart failure and repeat MI. Unfortunately, many rural EMS agencies fail to consistently achieve the recommended 90 minute PCI time goal. Rural agencies are less likely than urban/suburban agencies to meet time goals and this disparity exposes rural patients to excess morbidity and mortality. The American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) endorse the need for prehospital strategies to reduce total ischemic time, particularly in rural settings.
