Key result
Middle East registries reveal significant gaps in ACS management compared to established guidelines.
Why the study?
There is a wide gap between ACS guideline recommendations and their implementation in clinical practice, with limited data from the Middle East.
Highlights the gap between guideline recommendations and real-world clinical practice for ACS management in the Middle East.
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) represents one of the most common causes of death worldwide. Several practice guidelines have been developed in Europe and North America to improve outcome of ACS patients through implementation of the recommendations into clinical practice. It is well know that there is wide gap between guidelines and implementation in real practice as was demonstrated in registry findings mainly conducted in the developed world. Here in we review main gaps in the management of ACS patients observed from two recent registries conducted in the Middle East.
