ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how a Telehealth program can help speed up treatment for patients experiencing a heart attack known as STEMI (ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction). When someone calls 9-1-1 in Wilkes County with symptoms that suggest they might be having a STEMI, local paramedics will use this program to get support and advice in real-time. The goal is to find out if this approach helps patients receive quicker care, which is crucial for improving their chances of recovery.

Anyone who calls 9-1-1 with suspected STEMI symptoms in the area may be eligible to be part of the study. There are no specific exclusions since this study aims to gather data for quality improvement. Participants can expect that their care will be closely monitored to help understand how effective the Telehealth program is in emergency situations. Importantly, this trial is not yet recruiting participants, but it will eventually provide valuable insights into heart attack treatment.
