This study of 480 STEMI patients showed the COVID-19 pandemic significantly increased onset-to-door time and admission-to-wire crossing time compared to pre-pandemic periods. In-hospital mortality and cardiogenic shock/cardiac arrest rates also increased. More patients experienced prolonged treatment delays. These findings demonstrate the pandemic's negative impact on timely STEMI care and patient outcomes.
