📋 Key Takeaway

New research indicates that rural residents in Iran face a significantly higher risk of dying from heart attacks before reaching hospital care compared to those in urban areas. This disparity highlights the challenges in healthcare access for rural populations. Improving emergency medical services in these regions is crucial for reducing mortality rates.

People living in rural areas who experienced a heart attack were nearly three times more likely to die before reaching hospital care, compared with those living in large metropolitan areas, according to new, independent, preliminary research presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2026, held Nov. 6–9 in Chicago.
