Acute MI Hotline
The acute myocardial infarction hotline allows referring physicians to have immediate access to a Duke cardiologist who can assist with decision-making regarding the best treatment modality for a patient having a heart attack.
If direct primary angioplasty/stenting is the appropriate option, the Duke cardiologist and communications team will assist in the expeditious transport of the patient from the referring hospital directly to the Duke Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory, where the patient can undergo a life-saving procedure to open his/her artery.
If you have an Acute MI and want to call the Duke Heart Center for immediate transfer of a patient, please call 1-866-MI2-DUKE.
For questions or more information about the Acute MI Hotline, please contact Annette Winkler, RN, MSN, at 919-668-2629 or annette.winkler@duke.edu; or Robyn Keller, RN, MSN, at 434-728-5511 or robyn.keller@duke.edu.
