Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

all patients who presented to the emergency department of Far Eastern Memorial Hospital within 12 hours of the onset of ischemic chest pain
patients with diagnostic criteria of acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction on electrocardiogram, e.g. at least 0.1 mV in two or more contiguous electrocardiographic leads or a new onset of bundle branch block
patients were preparing for emergency cardiac catheterization

Exclusion criteria

patients who did not fulfill the diagnostic criteria of acute myocardial infarction on electrocardiogram
patients who were not eligible for cardiac catheterization
patients who refused cardiac catheterization
patients who suffered from acute myocardial infarction after admission to ward or intensive care unit for any reason
patients who had an ambiguous diagnosis that the decision of emergency cardiac catheterization was made after admission to ward or intensive care unit

Treatment and study plan

acute myocardial infarction checklist

Other

For every patient fulfilling the criteria of enrollment, an acute myocardial infarction checklist was incorporated into the patient's medical records at emergency department immediately after a diagnosis of acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction was made. All the time sequences concerning different managements at different locations were recorded by nurses and/or physicians as instructions on the checklist.

Primary outcomes
