This article discusses the initiatives in U.S. hospitals aimed at reducing the time between the admittance of a patient suffering from a heart attack due to a blocked artery and the performance of an angioplasty, called the door-to-balloon time. Topics include a description of the angioplasty process, the importance of emergency medical services' early transmission of electrocardiogram (ECG) results, and the American College of Cardiology's development of the Door-To-Balloon Alliance in 2006. |
