Distribution of RCTs by Inclusion of Patients on the Basis of Duration of Symptoms, Infarct-Related Artery Included, and TIMI Flow Grade Pre–Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
These 3 pie charts show the percentage of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) including (A) patients on the basis of duration of symptoms, (B) infarct-related artery, and (C) TIMI (Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction) flow grade pre–primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). The majority of the RCTs included patients presenting within 12 h of symptom onset, with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction in all coronary territories, and with all pre-PPCI TIMI flow grades. LAD = left anterior descending coronary artery; RCA = right coronary artery.
