About: U.S. National STEMI Receiving Centers

An Entity of Type: organisation, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

U.S. National STEMI Receiving Centers are medical centers that specialize in receiving ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) cases. These myocardial infarctions, or heart attacks, are due to fully blocked coronary arteries. Since 2006, the American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association have worked to implement a national designation of "STEMI Receiving Center" across the U.S, much like the certifications of trauma centers. Sameer Mehta is an interventional cardiologist who works with these organizations.

  • U.S. National STEMI Receiving Centers are medical centers that specialize in receiving ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) cases. These myocardial infarctions, or heart attacks, are due to fully blocked coronary arteries. Since 2006, the American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association have worked to implement a national designation of "STEMI Receiving Center" across the U.S, much like the certifications of trauma centers. Sameer Mehta is an interventional cardiologist who works with these organizations. As of 2012 only a handful of hospitals had been designated. STEMI patients account for one-third or over 400,000 of all U.S. MI sufferers. (en)
