Catheter Cardiovasc Interv. 2022 Sep;100(3):317-318. doi: 10.1002/ccd.30371.

Abstract

In medicine, wide variations in healthcare delivery or outcomes are a sign of missing information and beg for more information in a timely resolution. While differences in patient selection for intervention in out-of-hospital-cardiac-arrest in Wales and England might seem regional, there is little reason to assume this is not true across many other geographical areas.

Keywords: CAD - coronary artery disease; MYI - myocardial infarction; PCI - percutaneous coronary intervention.
