Excerpt

The following are findings from the review of 13 journal articles, published between 1995 and 2010, that reported the factors that are associated with a patient’s decision to delay seeking care for chest pain (either calling 911 or self-transport). Collectively, the median delay time from symptom onset to hospital arrival in these studies ranged from 1.5 to 6.0 hours with overall time ranges between 6 minutes and 48 hours.
