Centralised Management System and Hot Transfer for ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction in Western NSW: Closing the Gap in Current Models of Rural ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction Care
A rural STEMI CMS, with "hot transfer", can deliver patients from a vast geographical area directly to a rural PCI centre. Patients furthest away, with the greatest risk profile, benefit the most. Extension of this program and development of 24/7 PCI in NSW rural cardiac hubs stands to improve timely, definitive treatment, including access to angiography within 24 hours.
