Figure 1 Guideline adherence. Proportions of patients receiving either fibrinolytic therapy (A) or percutaneous coronary intervention (B) within the ACC/AHA recommended times (17) are indicated in black. The proportions of additional patients receiving late reperfusion, defined as the recommended time plus one-third (40 min for fibrinolytic therapy and 120 min for percutaneous coronary intervention) are indicated in white. The proportions of patients receiving reperfusion between these times are indicated in the diagonal pattern.
