Telehealth may speed heart attack care, small study suggests
NCT ID NCT06945900
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a telehealth program could help paramedics treat people having a severe heart attack (STEMI) more quickly. Researchers measured times from first contact to treatment in 11 patients in Wilkes County. The goal was to see if remote support from doctors could speed up care, but the study was small and focused on measuring times, not proving a cure.
