Psychological and cognitive factors related to prehospital delay in acute coronary syndrome: A systematic review
2020, International Journal of Nursing StudiesImpact of summer season on pre-hospital time delays in women and men undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention
2019, Science of the Total EnvironmentCitation Excerpt :Further, it is known that cold temperature triggers angina pectoris symptoms in patients with CAD via mechanisms such as sympathetically mediated vasoconstriction, increase in afterload and elevated myocardial oxygen consumption (Epstein et al., 1969; Pell and Cobbe, 1999). Given that severity of symptoms is associated with reduced time to treatment (Dracup and Moser, 1997), it is conceivable that exposure to warmer temperatures during summer might mitigate warning symptoms and may make cardiac symptoms ambiguous and harder to recognize. Finally, reports of the summer 2018's heat wave in Québec indicate that the majority of individuals who died during this episode were men who lived alone (Laframboise, 2018).

2017, American Journal of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :Patients were asked to recall at what time acute symptoms began. Following the procedure as proposed by Dracup and Moser,12 we assisted patients during the bedside interview to triangulate the time of symptom onset by placing it in the context of their daily activities. The time difference between symptom onset and first ECG in the hospital constitutes PHD, measured in minutes.
