ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) to Door

ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) is a very serious type of heart attack during which one of the heart’s major arteries (one of the arteries that supplies oxygen and nutrient-rich blood to the heart muscle) is blocked. The Nationwide standard is 90 minutes from first EMS contact to percutaneous catheter intervention. The Southlake Fire measure is STEMI to hospital door within 40 mins. Our annual average is arrival at the door within 22 minutes.
