Guideline‐Recommended Time Less Than 90 Minutes From ECG to Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for ST‐Segment–Elevation Myocardial Infarction Is Associated with Major Survival Benefits, Especially in Octogenarians: A Contemporary Report in 11 226 Patients from NORIC

Background Using contemporary data from NORIC (Norwegian Registry of Invasive Cardiology) we investigated the predictive value of patient age and time from ECG diagnosis to sheath insertion (ECG‐2‐sheath) in primary percutaneous coronary intervention for ST‐segment–elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods and Results Data from 11 226 patients collected from all centers offering 24/7/365 primary percutaneous coronary intervention service were explored. For patients aged 80 years and mortality at 30 days, mortality was 10.5% and 17.7% for
