Married patients were more likely than patients who were not married to have a short total pre-hospital delay (p = 0.048). There were no other significant associations between short total pre-hospital delays and sociodemographic or socioeconomic factors, but clinical presentation was important (Table 2). Patients who had an STEMI rather than NSTEMI or UA were more likely to have short total pre-hospital delay (p = 0.028), as were those who experienced a greater number of symptoms (p = 0.007). Patients who experienced 3 or more non-pain symptoms (including breathlessness, nausea/vomiting, dizziness) were also more likely to have short home-to-hospital delays (p = 0.002). Patients who had suffered a previous myocardial infarction (MI) were more likely to have a short total pre-hospital delay (p = 0.023), as were those who attributed symptoms to a heart attack rather than another cause (p = 0.039). There were no significant associations with other cardiac risk factors such as diabetes, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, smoking, or level of physical activity.
