Myocardial Infarction
This is in the history of a patient admitted to a hospital for chest pain and elevated cardiac enzymes.
"Nel [anno] IMA apicale *a presentazione tardiva*: effettuata PTCA + STENT ... etc. "
I don't understand whether the "presentazione tardiva" describes some aspect of the MI itself, or whether it's telling the reader that the patient delayed in coming to the hospital ... that is, "presented late" for evaluation and treatment.
How would you say this in English?
Grazie di nuovo dell'aiuto!

LATE PRESENTATION MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION
S Morris, B Ruttan
New Brunswick Heart Centre, Saint John, NB
Cardiogenic shock occurs in 5 to 7 percent of patients presenting with an ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and is seen more commonly in those patients in whom appropriate treatment is delayed (Menon & Hochman, 2009). Early intervention has had a significant impact on the incidence and severity of this complication; however, mortality rates still range from 56 to74 percent. Late presentation myocardial infarction patients are at increased risk of cardiogenic shock, directly related to the extent of myocardial damage (Menon & Hochman).
