Overview
Over the last two decades, considerable progress has been made in the management of Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI), both in the acute phase and in monitoring beyond the hospital phase. Nevertheless, the evolution of care practices and their impact on the mid- and long-term prognosis of patients admitted to the intensive care unit for acute myocardial infarction remain relatively little studied exhaustively.
The aim of this study is to assess the profile of AMI patients, their management and follow-up in order to evaluate the relationship between these factors and outcomes.
Description
The FRENCHIE registry is a French multicenter prospective observational study. All the eligible consecutive patients admitted within 48 hours after symptom onset in a cardiac ICU for an acute myocardial infarction.
This hospital registry will be linked to the national databases, in order to collect follow-up clinical outcomes and health care consumption.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
- Myocardial infarction (MI) within 48h of symptom onset, characterized by the typical increased or fall of troponin (or CPKMB) associated with at least one of the following elements :
- Symptoms compatible with myocardial ischemia
- Appearance of pathological Q waves
- ST- T changes compatible with myocardial ischemia (ST segment elevation or depression, T-wave inversion)
- Written consent.
- Covered by French medical insurance ("Sécurité Sociale")
Exclusion Criteria:
- Iatrogenic MI defined as MI occurring within 48h of a therapeutic procedure
- AMI diagnosis invalidated in favor of another diagnosis
