ESO, the leading data and software company serving emergency medical services (EMS), fire departments, hospitals, state and federal agencies, today announced the findings of its 2023 ESO EMS Index .

Key Points: 
  • ESO, the leading data and software company serving emergency medical services (EMS), fire departments, hospitals, state and federal agencies, today announced the findings of its 2023 ESO EMS Index .
  • Additionally, this year’s Index takes a deeper look at patient race/ethnicity and gender across metrics to identify inequities in care.
  • “Ketamine use in EMS has been a topic of interest in recent years due to patient safety concerns.
  • Additionally, as the Index findings indicates, there is opportunity for improvement in monitoring a patient’s EtCO2 following administration of ketamine.”

For heart attacks that come from blocked arteries (ST-elevation heart attacks) its one in four patients.

Key Points: 
  • For heart attacks that come from blocked arteries (ST-elevation heart attacks) its one in four patients.
  • In heart attacks where oxygen is still getting to the heart but not enough (non-ST-elevation heart attacks, which are more common), its one in five patients.
  • In the new study, Intermountain researchers examined non-ST-elevation heart attack patients and found that those without known modifiable risk factors fared better than those with them.
  • They found that these patients were slightly less likely to have revascularization procedures than heart attack patients with known modifiable risk factors.

Friday, August 26, 2022

DUBLIN, Ireland and BRIDGEWATER, N.J., Aug. 26, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Amarin Corporation plc (NASDAQ:AMRN) today announced that new REDUCE-IT data show that VASCEPA/VAZKEPA (icosapent ethyl) significantly reduced ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), non-ST segment elevated myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), and other MI subtypes in patients with established cardiovascular disease (CVD) or diabetes with risk factors.

Key Points: 
  • The REDUCE-IT data presented today show STEMI was significantly reduced by 40% following treatment with icosapent ethyl (IPE) compared to placebo.
  • Importantly, these new data show a significant reduction in the most important type of heart attack known as STEMI, as well as other MI subtypes.
  • Prespecified and post hoc analyses examined MI subtypes, which were independently adjudicated by a blinded Clinical Endpoint Committee.
  • IPE significantly reduced STEMI (HR=0.60; 95% CI 0.44, 0.81; P=0.0008) and NSTEMI (HR=0.73; 95% CI 0.60, 0.89; P=0.001).

Timely access to angiography is defined for this study as treatment on the day of hospital admission for STEMI patients and within three days of admission for NSTEMI patients.

Key Points: 
  • Timely access to angiography is defined for this study as treatment on the day of hospital admission for STEMI patients and within three days of admission for NSTEMI patients.
  • The proportion of patients who received timely treatment increased and mortality decreased over time for men and women.
  • However, while gaps in treatment and outcomes between genders narrowed over time, these disparities persisted over the course of the years analyzed.
  • "But there are biases and social issues that challenge access to care and impact the treatment of women and patients of color with heart issues.
