Abstract 185: Outcome Differences Associated With STEMI Diagnostic Delay: Disparities on the Frontlines of STEMI Care [Session Title: Poster Session AM]

Conclusion: A significant proportion of ED patients with STEMI did not receive an ECG within 10 minutes of arrival resulting in a 2.2 fold increase in D2B time. They were more likely to be female, non-white, and with atypical chief complaints. Normalizing screening criteria for presentation diversity could improve more equitable access to timely STEMI treatment
