This editorial refers to "Time-to-treatment significantly affects the extent of ST-segment resolution and myocardial blush in patients with acute myocardial infarction treated by primary angioplasty"1 by G. De Luca et al. on page 1009

In this issue of the European Heart Journal, De Luca et al., demonstrate that among 1072 patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated by primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), prolonged times between symptom onset and the first balloon inflation are associated with impaired ST-segment resolution, impaired myocardial blush grades, larger infarct sizes and higher mortality.1 These data add to a growing body of literature . . .
