Populærvitenskapelig sammendrag av avhandlingen/ Summary of the thesis:

In patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), a coronary artery is completely blocked and must be reopened promptly to restore blood flow and prevent myocardial damage. Reperfusion of the occluded artery through primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) within 120 minutes is recommended. If this is not feasible, initial fibrinolytic medication should be administered within 30 minutes, followed by coronary angiography and additional treatment if necessary.

This thesis used data from national registers, applying regression models for the analyses. Variation was observed across geographic regions and age groups, indicating inequity in timely treatment in Norway. Delayed treatment was found to increase the risk of reduced cardiac function. For patients undergoing primary PCI, there was a persistent increased risk throughout and beyond the recommended treatment window. These findings encourage initiatives to enhance timely reperfusion treatment.
