All patients with diagnostic criteria of acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction who were preparing for emergency cardiac catheterization
Myocardial Infarction
Other: acute myocardial infarction checklist
For every patient fulfilling the criteria of enrollment, an acute myocardial infarction checklist was incorporated into the patient's medical records at emergency department immediately after a diagnosis of acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction was made. All the time sequences concerning different managements at different locations were recorded by nurses and/or physicians as instructions on the checklist.
  • intervention group

    Intervention: Other: acute myocardial infarction checklist
  • control group
    patients presented with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction and received emergency cardiac catheterization between April 1, 2006 and Feb. 28, 2007
