France PCI Registry National Observational Study on Interventional Cardiology Practices in Adults

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are conducting an observational study called the France PCI Registry to monitor and improve care in interventional cardiology, focusing on procedures like coronary angiography and angioplasty. This national observatory started in 2014 in the Centre Val de Loire region and aims to build a reliable database of interventional cardiology activities. The study is led by the Club Rgional des Angioplasticiens de la rgion Centre and seeks to optimize patient care times, especially for those with STEMI a type of heart attack. The study collects data fully integrated with usual coronary activity reporting software across multiple catheterization labs. It tracks interventional cardiology activities over a year and monitors secondary outcomes such as improving care times for STEMI patients within 24 hours. There are no investigational drugs or treatments administered, as this is an observational study gathering information from routine clinical practice. Participants who have undergone coronary angiograms or angioplasty are involved through data collection during their usual care. The study regularly evaluates data quality to maintain an exhaustive and reliable database. Researchers measure the volume and quality of interventional cardiology procedures and how quickly STEMI patients receive care. Participation lasts as long as the data collection period, with ongoing observation but no additional interventions or treatments.
