Henan STEMI Registry

ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) remains among the most acute and critical diseases, with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) and thrombolysis as mainstay reperfusion treatments. Real-world implementation of current guidelines for STEMI management has been assessed in developed countries and large Chinese cities. However, until now, there has been no registry on patients with STEMI in Henan, the most populated (about 100 million) and predominantly rural (66%) province in central China. This registry is aimed to assess management practices, time delays, outcomes and reasons for not receiving reperfusion therapy in consecutive STEMI patients in reperfusion-capable hospitals, i.e., tertiary and secondary, in Henan province.
