Description
Ernest Tomczak, Lukasz Gawinski, Karol Matewski, and Remigiusz Kozlowski review sending heart tracings from ambulances straight to hospitals during acute coronary events, in a 2026 narrative review. A full twelve-lead ECG recorded before arrival can be transmitted ahead, letting teams spot a blocked artery early and prepare the catheter lab. Their literature search ran in May 2026 and reached back to 1998.
Evidence gathered suggests transmission shortens the path to artery-opening treatment and supports direct referral to centers that perform it. The review also covers how tracings get read, by machine or by clinician, and the network design behind regional heart attack systems. Current European and American guidelines anchor the recommendations.
