Detailed Description
In the regional health trust of North Norway, time to reperfusion in acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction is below the national average and below recommendations. The aim of this study is to monitor outcomes, especially time to reperfusion, in ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction patients. The study period is supposedly lasting for approximately 4 months, the time estimated to observe the clinical course of 100 patients. Before and during the study period, clinical leaders are encouraged to improve guideline adherence and to closely monitor the results of their own and collaborating institutions.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Time to reperfusion [This parameter will be recorded within 1 week after patient inclusion]

Secondary Outcome Measures
- Ejection fraction at discharge [This parameter will be recorded up to 6 months after patient inclusion]
Systolic function of the left ventricle
- Survival [This parameter will be collected from patient's records during Nov -20 till Aug -21.]
Survival after 30 days from incident
