Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

intervention group

patients presented with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction and received emergency cardiac catheterization between March 1, 2007 and Oct. 31, 2007

acute myocardial infarction checklist

Intervention Type OTHER

For every patient fulfilling the criteria of enrollment, an acute myocardial infarction checklist was incorporated into the patient's medical records at emergency department immediately after a diagnosis of acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction was made. All the time sequences concerning different managements at different locations were recorded by nurses and/or physicians as instructions on the checklist.

control group

patients presented with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction and received emergency cardiac catheterization between April 1, 2006 and Feb. 28, 2007

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* all patients who presented to the emergency department of Far Eastern Memorial Hospital within 12 hours of the onset of ischemic chest pain
* patients with diagnostic criteria of acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction on electrocardiogram, e.g. at least 0.1 mV in two or more contiguous electrocardiographic leads or a new onset of bundle branch block
* patients were preparing for emergency cardiac catheterization

Exclusion Criteria

* patients who did not fulfill the diagnostic criteria of acute myocardial infarction on electrocardiogram
* patients who were not eligible for cardiac catheterization
* patients who refused cardiac catheterization
* patients who suffered from acute myocardial infarction after admission to ward or intensive care unit for any reason
* patients who had an ambiguous diagnosis that the decision of emergency cardiac catheterization was made after admission to ward or intensive care unit
