Aims of MonAMI To determine if paramedic performed field 12 lead ECG and activation of the infarct team, via the emergency physician, reduced D2BT in patients undergoing primary PCI (PPCI)

ConclusionConclusion The performance of field 12 lead ECG to triage and pre hospital activation of the infarct team significantly improves door to balloon times and results in a greater proportion of patients achieving guideline recommendations.
