Acute cardiovascular disease, such as acute myocardial infarction and aortic disease, can lead to a serious life-threatening state within minutes to hours, so early accurate diagnosis, and appropriate treatment without delay are essential. To provide high-quality and timely treatment, 24-h availability of medical staff and cardiologists, as well as a cardiac catheterization laboratory are needed. In Japan, the number of patients with acute cardiovascular disease is increasing with the aging population and westernization of lifestyle; however, workstyle reforms for physicians, including a policy to limit overtime work, have been legislated. Under these conditions, it is necessary to centralize hospitals that treat cardiovascular emergency diseases as high-volume centers and build a patient triage system for allocating patients before hospital arrival. The prehospital 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) plays a central role in prehospital diagnosis and triage, and its importance will increase in future. We discuss the current and future state of the cardiovascular emergency medical care system utilizing prehospital 12-lead ECG in urban areas of Japan.
