A Statement from BCIS President Prof. David Hildick-Smith:
"It has taken a long time to get here, but after hard work and strong data from @DawnAdamson6, @mmamas1973, Ashan Gunarathne, and others, NHSE England has finally agreed to prioritise STEMI transfer between sites. This is something we have been requesting for a long time, and it is great to see it implemented.
"The wording regarding interhospital patient transfer for PPCI is that 'Ambulance services are asked to ensure... that patients are prioritised for a Category 2 dispatch.'
"Our side of the bargain is to ensure that 'handovers of patients transferred... are completed within 15 minutes, releasing the ambulance to answer other emergency calls.'"

Paramedics routinely now give 5,000 units Heparin in the Scottish Highlands due to the long transfer time. We definitely have seen better TIMI flow when patients arrive for cath. Good to see RCT data!

We discussed this observation on #CardioTwitter: several noted that administering a heparin bolus the ER (100 units/Kg, not max 4,000), rather than waiting until the cath lab, improves TIMI flow by the time the patient reaches the cath lab. This is now supported by an RCT! #TCT2024 @crfheart

Historic day today for cardiology! IVUS or OCT as Class I recommendation in PCI of complex lesions. Congratulations to #ESCCongress2024 for leading the way in positioning IVI in this category. @escardio #CardioOCT
New ESC Chronic Coronary Syndrome Guidelines just out. For LM stenoses w/ low Syntax Score, both surgery and PCI - as long as full revasc is possible - have Class IA recommendation. Image-guided PCI has Class IA for LM / bifu / long lesions

This 5-year study by He et al, shows that using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) during PCI for STEMI patients significantly lowers both all-cause and cardiovascular mortality compared to standard angiography. Read the full paper 👇
