Cardiol J 2011;18(2):134-139.
Abstract
We present activities undertaken in Poland’s Swietokrzyskie province to shorten the time to
recanalization of infarct-related arteries in patients with acute myocardial infarction. All emergency
medical institutions have been obliged by the Governor of Swietokrzyskie to implement the
System for Optimal Management of Acute Myocardial Infarction. The effects of this action are
discussed, and similar systems in Europe are reviewed. (Cardiol J 2011; 18, 2: 134-139)
