International Study of Acute Coronary Syndromes Tracking Patient Outcomes and Treatments

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are conducting the International Survey of Acute Coronary Syndromes ISACS, an observational study designed to collect and analyze data from patients with acute coronary syndromes such as STEMI or NSTEMI. The study aims to document patient characteristics, in-hospital outcomes, and longer-term results at 6 months and 1 year. It also assesses invasive procedures, complications, and how well treatments follow established guidelines internationally. This study is non-interventional and serves as a patient registry. It collects detailed information from participating centers on treatment regimens and procedures without administering any specific therapies. The study covers both retrospective and prospective data gathering, focusing on outcomes and adherence to recommended care practices across multiple countries. Participants provide data through hospital records and follow-up evaluations at 30 days, 6 months, and 1 year. Researchers measure outcomes including all-cause mortality, cardiovascular deaths, recurrent heart attacks, and genetic studies related to clinical results. Adherence to guideline-recommended therapies is also monitored. The study is led by the University of Bologna and involves various international collaborators, with patient participation lasting up to one year after initial admission.
