Description
Abdulrahman Arabi leads a large team in a 2026 nationwide analysis of trends in emergency angioplasty for major heart attacks in Qatar over nine years. This procedure, primary percutaneous coronary intervention, is the standard for ST-elevation heart attacks, yet long-term Middle Eastern trend data were scarce.
The registry held 7,959 patients treated at Qatar Heart Hospital between 2015 and 2023. Annual volume rose by over half, average age was forty-nine, and most patients were male and non-Qatari. Risk factors climbed over time, while ambulance use, radial access, and vessel imaging all increased, and door-to-balloon time fell from sixty to forty-five minutes. In-hospital mortality dropped from four point four percent in 2016 to one point five percent in 2023. Shock, cardiac arrest, older age, and delay predicted death.
