1.- Acute myocardial infarction: median time from arrival to administration of fibrinolytic therapy in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients with ST-segment elevation or left bundle branch block (LBBB) on the electrocardiogram (ECG) performed closest to hospital arrival time. This updates a previously published measure summary.
