Abstract
PHT in the ambulance is associated with a shorter time to treatment, a smaller infarct size and a more favorable clinical outcome, especially with longer distance from the patient's residence to the nearest PCI center. Therefore, PHT in the ambulance may reduce the negative effect of living at a longer distance from the PCI center.
