New Four-step Protocol Boosts Care, Outcomes for STEMI Patients

Investigators have developed a protocol that not only improves outcomes for patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), but also reduces gender disparities that have been observed in both the care and outcomes of patients who present with the condition. Researchers note that although the protocol is different than common practices in most U.S. hospitals, the results show that further improvements are possible in the care of STEMI patients.
