Abstract
Background and Objectives ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is the deadliest and most time-sensitive acute cardiac event. However, failure to achieve timely informed consent is an important contributor to in-hospital delay in STEMI care in China. We investigated the factors associated with informed consent delay in patients with STEMI undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and the association between the delay and door-to-balloon time. Methods We conducted a nationally representative retrospective cohort study using patient data reported by hospital-based chest pain centers from 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2020. We applied generalized linear mixed models and negative binomial regression to estimate factors independently predicting informed consent delay time. Logistic regressions were fitted to investigate the association of the informed consent delay time and door-to-balloon time, adjusting for patient characteristics. Results In total, 257, 510 patients were enrolled in the analysis. Mean informed consent delay time was 22.4 min (SD = 24.0), accounting for 39.3% in door-to-balloon time. Older age (≥65 years) was significantly correlated with informed consent delay time (RR: 1.034, P = 0.001). Compared with ethnic Han patients, the minority (RR: 1.146, P < 0.001) had more likelihood to extend consent giving; compared with patients who were single, longer informed consent time was found in married patients (RR: 1.054, P = 0.006). Patients with intermittent chest pain (RR: 1.034, P = 0.011), and chest pain relief (RR: 1.085, P = 0.005) were more likely to delay informed consent. As for transfer modes, EMS (RR: 1.063, P < 0.001), transfer-in (RR: 1.820, P < 0.001), and in-hospital onset (RR: 1.099, P = 0.002) all had positive correlations with informed consent delay time compared to walk-in. Informed consent delay was significantly associated with prolonged door-to-balloon time (OR: 1.002, P < 0.001). Conclusion Informed consent delay is significantly associated with the door-to-balloon time which plays a crucial role in achieving better outcomes for patients with STEMI. It is essential to shorten the delay time by identifying and intervening modifiable factors that are associated with shortening the informed consent procedure in China and other countries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Limited data are available on the changes in the quality of care for ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) during China's health system reform from 2009 to 2020. This study aimed to assess the changes in care processes and outcome for STEMI patients in Henan province of central China between 2011 and 2018. METHODS We compared the data from the Henan STEMI survey conducted in 2011-2012 ( n = 1548, a cross-sectional study) and the Henan STEMI registry in 2016-2018 ( n = 4748, a multicenter, prospective observational study). Changes in care processes and in-hospital mortality were determined. Process of care measures included reperfusion therapies, aspirin, P2Y12 antagonists, β-blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers, and statins. Therapy use was analyzed among patients who were considered ideal candidates for treatment. RESULTS STEMI patients in 2016-2018 were younger (median age: 63.1 vs . 63.8 years) with a lower proportion of women (24.4% [1156/4748] vs . 28.2% [437/1548]) than in 2011-2012. The composite use rate for guideline-recommended treatments increased significantly from 2011 to 2018 (60.9% [5424/8901] vs . 82.7% [22,439/27,129], P <0.001). The proportion of patients treated by reperfusion within 12 h increased from 44.1% (546/1237) to 78.4% (2698/3440) ( P <0.001) with a prolonged median onset-to-first medical contact time (from 144 min to 210 min, P <0.001). The use of antiplatelet agents, statins, and β-blockers increased significantly. The risk of in-hospital mortality significantly decreased over time (6.1% [95/1548] vs . 4.2% [198/4748], odds ratio [OR]: 0.67, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.50-0.88, P = 0.005) after adjustment. CONCLUSIONS Gradual implementation of the guideline-recommended treatments in STEMI patients from 2011 to 2018 has been associated with decreased in-hospital mortality. However, gaps persist between clinical practice and guideline recommendation. Public awareness, reperfusion strategies, and construction of chest pain centers need to be further underscored in central China.

Abstract
Our object was to examine how the pre- and post-pandemic COVID-19 impacted the care of acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients in county hospitals. Using January 20, 2020, as the time point for the control of a unique coronavirus pneumonia epidemic in Jieshou, 272 acute STEMI patients were separated into pre-epidemic (group A, n = 130) and epidemic (group B, n = 142). There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of mode of arrival, symptom onset-to-first medical contact time, door-to-needle time, door-to-balloon time, maximum hypersensitive cardiac troponin I levels, and in-hospital adverse events (P > 0.05). Emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was much less common in group B (57.7%) compared to group A (72.3%) (P = 0.012), and the proportion of reperfusion treatment with thrombolysis was 30.3% in group B compared to 13.1% in group A (P < 0.001). Logistic regression analysis showed that age ≥76 years, admission NT-proBNP levels ≥3,018 pg/ml, and combined cardiogenic shock were independent risk factors for death. Compared with thrombolytic therapy, emergency PCI treatment further reduced the risk of death in STEMI. In conclusion, the county hospitals treated more acute STEMI with thrombolysis during the COVID-19 outbreak.

Abstract
Background Little is known about the current scenario of inter-hospital transfer for patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in China. Methods From November 2014 to December 2019, 94,623 AMI patients were enrolled from 241 hospitals in 30 provinces in China. We analyzed the pattern of inter-hospital transfer, and compared in-hospital treatments and outcomes between transferred patients and directly admitted patients. Results Of these patients, 40,970 (43.3%) were transferred from hospitals that did not provide percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The proportion of patients who were transferred from non-PCI hospital was 46.3% and 11.9% (P < 0.001) in tertiary hospitals and secondary hospitals, respectively; 56.2% and 37.3% (P < 0.001) in hospitals locating in low-economic regions and affluent areas, respectively. Compared with directly admitted patients, transferred patients had lower rates of reperfusion for STEMI (57.8% vs. 65.2%, P < 0.001) and timely PCI for NSTEMI (34.7%vs. 41.1%, P < 0.001). The delay for STEMI patients were long, with 6.5h vs. 4.5h from symptom onset to PCI for transferred and directly admitted patients, respectively. The median time-point was 9 days for in-hospital outcomes. Compared with direct admission, the hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals associated with inter-hospital transfer were 0.87 (0.75-1.01) and 0.87 (0.73-1.03) for major adverse cardiovascular events and total mortality, respectively, in inverse probability of treatment weighting models in patients with STEMI, and 1.02 (0.71-1.48) and 0.98 (0.70-1.35), respectively, in patients with NSTEMI. Conclusion More than 40% of the hospitalized AMI patients were transferred from non-PCI-capable hospitals in China. Further strategies are needed to enhance the capability of revascularization and reduce the inequality in management of AMI.

Abstract
Background Vascular cell adhesion molecule‐1 (VCAM‐1) and intercellular adhesion molecule‐1 (ICAM‐1) modulate atherosclerosis by promoting leukocyte infiltration, neutrophil recruitment, endothelial cell proliferation, etc., which may directly or indirectly facilitate the occurrence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE). This study intended to investigate the value of VCAM‐1 and ICAM‐1 for predicting MACE in ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. Methods Totally, 373 STEMI patients receiving the percutaneous coronary intervention and 50 health controls (HCs) were included. Serum VCAM‐1 and ICAM‐1 were detected by ELISA. Meanwhile, MACE was recorded during a median follow‐up of 18 (range: 1–46) months in STEMI patients. Results Vascular cell adhesion molecule‐1 and ICAM‐1 were raised in STEMI patients compared with HCs (both p < 0.001). VCAM‐1 (p = 0.002) and ICAM‐1 (p = 0.012) high were linked with raised accumulating MACE rate in STEMI patients. Notably, VCAM‐1 high (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.339, p = 0.031), age ≥ 65 years (HR = 2.019, p = 0.039), history of diabetes mellitus (DM) (HR = 2.395, p = 0.011), C‐reactive protein (CRP) ≥ 5 mg/L (HR = 2.550, p = 0.012), multivessel disease (HR = 2.561, p = 0.007) independently predicted MACE risk in STEMI patients. Furthermore, a nomogram‐based prediction model combining these factors was established, exhibiting an acceptable value for estimating 1, 2, and 3‐year MACE risk, with AUC of 0.764, 0.716, and 0.778, respectively, in STEMI patients. Conclusion This study confirms the value of VCAM‐1 and ICAM‐1 measurement in predicting MACE risk in STEMI patients. Moreover, VCAM‐1 plus other traditional prognostic factors (such as age, history of DM, CRP, and multivessel disease) cloud further improve the predictive accuracy of MACE risk in STEMI patients.

Abstract
Background Pharmaco-invasive therapy (PIT), combining thrombolysis and percutaneous coronary intervention, was a potential complement for primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI), while bleeding risk was still a concern. Objectives This study aims to compare the efficacy and safety outcomes of PIT and pPCI. Methods A systematic search for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies were conducted on Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane library, and Scopus. RCTs and observational studies were all collected and respectively analyzed, and combined pooled analysis was also presented. The primary efficacy outcome was short-term all-cause mortality within 30 days, including in-hospital period. The primary safety outcome was 30-day trial-defined major bleeding events. Results A total of 26,597 patients from 5 RCTs and 12 observational studies were included. There was no significant difference in short-term mortality [RCTs: risk ratio (RR): 1.14, 95% CI: 0.67–1.93, I2 = 0%, p = 0.64; combined results: odds ratio (OR): 1.09, 95% CI: 0.93–1.29, I2 = 0%, p = 0.30] and 30-day major bleeding events (RCTs: RR: 0.44, 95% CI: 0.07–2.93, I2 = 0%, p = 0.39; combined results: OR: 1.01, 95% CI: 0.53–1.92, I2 = 0%, p = 0.98). However, pPCI reduced risk of in-hospital major bleeding events, stroke and intracranial bleeding, but increased risk of in-hospital heart failure and 30-day heart failure in combined analysis of RCTs and observational studies, despite no significant difference in analysis of RCTs. Conclusion Pharmaco-invasive therapy could be an important complement for pPCI in real-world clinical practice under specific conditions, but studies aiming at optimizing thrombolysis and its combination of mandatory coronary angiography are also warranted.
