Study on Acute Coronary Syndrome and Myocardial Injury Collecting Patient Data and Outcomes from Diagnosis to Treatment

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are conducting an observational study called AMIPE to collect and analyze data on patients with acute coronary syndrome or myocardial injury. The study is both retrospective and prospective, enrolling patients admitted to participating hospitals from January 1, 2016, to December 31, 2023. The goal is to improve understanding and knowledge about these heart conditions by creating a detailed database of patient characteristics and outcomes. The study involves gathering information from patient medical records during hospitalization and requires written informed consent for prospective participants. No specific treatments are assigned as this is an observational study all diagnostic and therapeutic interventions follow established guidelines and good clinical practice. Researchers will document patient characteristics, long-term outcomes, and treatment regimens. Participants will be monitored for major outcomes such as all-cause mortality and major adverse cardiac events over 1, 3, and 5 years. Additional data on cardiovascular risk factors, clinical presentations, and complications will also be collected. Statistical analyses including univariate and multivariate methods will be used to evaluate these outcomes. The study is led by IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria di Bologna and aims to provide new scientific evidence about these heart conditions.
