ABSTRACT
Time delay between medial contact and treatment in symptomatic patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the most important factor in the prediction of short and long-term mortality. The incidences of AMI has been increased in Korea rapidly. According to Korea Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry (KAMIR), pre-hospital delay is longer in Korean patients compared with Western patients, especially in patients with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction and in elderly female patients. Prompt seeking medical care in patients with suspected symptom of AMI can be achieved through patient and patient's family education, active transportation system of ambulance, and good cooperations of regional emergency centers. Shortening time delay in treatment of AMI will save patient's life and reduce medical costs in the future, especially in Korea.
