研究概览
简要总结
This study is being done to learn more about people who have had a heart attack, also called a myocardial infarction (MI). A heart attack happens when blood flow to the heart muscle is blocked, causing damage. The purpose of this study is to better understand the causes of delayed presentation and effects of the factors that caused delayed presentation.
We will collect information about patients' medical history, treatments, and recovery after their heart attack. This information may include blood tests, heart imaging, medications, and lifestyle factors. By studying these patients, we hope to find patterns that can help doctors predict complications, improve treatment, and reduce the chance of another heart attack.
The results of this study may help health care providers give better care and guidance to patients and families living with heart disease.

结局指标
主要结局
Number and percentage of MI patients identifying specific barriers (e.g., lack of awareness, distance, transport issues) for delayed hospital presentation, using a researcher-designed structured questionnaire.
时间窗: 6 months
Data will be collected using a structured and standardized questionnaire. The questionnaire includes: 1. Sociodemographic data: age, gender, BMI, employment status, past history of MI, and comorbidities. 2. Knowledge of MI symptoms and severity. 3. Pre-hospital details: first medical contact, transportation, and time to hospital. 4. In-hospital details: time to diagnosis and treatment. Responses will be summarized as frequency and percentage distributions for categorical variables (e.g., gender, employment, comorbidities), and mean ± SD for continuous variables (e.g., age, BMI).
