NCT03539133

Brief Summary

Despite progress in pre-hospital care, ambulance logistics, pharmacotherapy and PPCI techniques, ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) continues to confer a substantial burden of morbidity and mortality. Within the STEMI population, there is a spectrum of higher and lower risk patients. The aim of this cohort study is to collect prospectively and systematically clinical research data from STEMI patients. This cohort study is an open-end observational study to identify master switches in myocardial ischemia.
