Key result
ACCA-EAPCI registry prospectively evaluates current treatments, outcomes, and ESC guideline adherence in STEMI patients.
Why the study?
There are large variations between ESC countries in the treatment of patients presenting with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, necessitating evaluation of current treatments and outcomes.
Observational
Yes
This paper describes the methodology and design of the ACCA-EAPCI prospective registry evaluating STEMI treatments, outcomes, and guideline adherence across ESC countries.
Substantial STEMI treatment variations across ESC countries warrant monitoring; leaves open effects on outcomes and need for targeted harmonization.
Treatment of patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction has improved over past decades, with reperfusion therapy being the cornerstone in the acute phase. Based on the results of large randomised trials the current ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction guidelines of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) recommend acute treatments and secondary prevention therapies. However, there are large variations between ESC countries in the treatment of patients presenting with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Therefore the ESC has initiated a prospective registry to evaluate the current treatments and outcomes of these patients with a special focus on adherence to the ESC guidelines and on differences between countries and regions. This paper describes the methodology and design of the ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction registry conducted in collaboration of the Acute Cardiac Care Association and the European Association of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.

Zeymer et al. (2018) conducted an observational in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Current treatments and secondary prevention therapies was evaluated on Treatments, outcomes, and adherence to ESC guidelines. The ACCA-EAPCI registry was designed to prospectively evaluate current treatments, outcomes, and adherence to ESC guidelines for patients presenting with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.
