Abstract
Objectives: Coronary heart disease often presents with ST segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI). The American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association guidelines stress prompt reperfusion for STEMI. Examining geographic variations in treatment with PPCI (percutaneous primary coronary intervention) and CABG (coronary artery bypass graft) among metropolitan, micropolitan and...Keywords
