Table 2:

Timeliness of procedures and use of invasive procedures among men and women with acute coronary syndrome

Variable	Women	Men	p value
Timeliness of procedures
Door-to-ECG time, min, median (IQR)	21 (49)	15 (32)	< 0.001
Door-to-needle time, min, median (IQR)*	36 (62)	28 (30)	0.02
Door-to-balloon time, min, median (IQR)†	106 (77)	93 (102)	0.7
Invasive procedures, no. (%) of patients
Cardiac catheterization, among those with NSTEMI	319/362 (88)	670/761 (88)	0.9
Reperfusion, among those with STEMI	145/174 (83)	433/478 (91)	0.01
Nonprimary PCI, among those with NSTEMI or UA	87/181 (48)	181/273 (66)	< 0.001

Note: ECG = electrocardiography, IQR = interquartile range, NSTEMI = non–ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, PCI = percutaneous coronary intervention, STEMI = ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, UA = unstable angina.

^*Data for patients with STEMI who underwent fibrinolytic therapy.
