A study by Duke Clinical Research Institute published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that only 10% of heart attack patients are transferred to another hospital for treatment within the recommended 30 minutes, increasing mortality rates. The study analyzed data from the National Cardiovascular Data Registry and highlighted the importance of timely transfers for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The research emphasizes the need for quality improvement programs and efficient communication between hospitals.
