56 y/o M h/o HTN w/ CP by EMS. One day stable angina, later crushing pain, sweating, radiating to right arm. No vomiting. To cath or not to cath?

74yo male went to his local urgent care for chest pain. MD did EKG and contacted our hospital. Patient flown directly from urgent care to us. EKG above taken upon arrival to ED and showed significantly more elevation than one taken at urgent care. Pt changed, lined, and labbed as prep for cath lab. Door to cath lab time: 7 minutes. Patients trops trended s/p cath and maxed out our readings at ">200". Today they came down to 70. Sorry for the poor picture quality.

60 year old man C/O nausea vomiting x 3 days. 3/10 pain over sternum. PT had no previous HX. The images show post cath. PT was picked up from home. STEMI alert notified to cath capable hospital.

I'm curious if any other EMS providers have cath labs that send post-run reports after a STEMI event. My system provides times such as patient contact to first ECG, as well as patient contact to cath lab door arrival, then cath lab to balloon time. Very useful for evaluating chest pain/STEMI calls.
