Disparities in access and three-year survival of patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction treated in percutaneous coronary intervention-capable hospitals within the Brazilian public and private healthcare systems: The VICTIM extended registry

Strengthening emergency networks, expanding access to reperfusion, and improving adherence to guidelines are essential to reduce mortality in public healthcare settings.
