Description/Abstract
Door to balloon time (DTB) is a measurement of time between entry to the hospital and receiving a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). A myocardial infarction is also known as a heart attack and occurs when coronary arteries are blocked causing a decrease in blood flow. By knowing the different signs of a myocardial infarction in men and women, healthcare workers can identify and treat patients faster and more efficiently.
