Cardiovascular Patient Outcomes and Research Team Primary PCI Registry

The proposed study is a registry of patients treated with primary angioplasty for acute myocardial infarction. The aim of this registry is to define the outcomes of patients treated for acute, ST-segment myocardial infarction (STEMI) at community hospitals without on-site cardiac surgery programs that have completed the Cardiovascular Patient Outcomes and Research Team (C-PORT) Primary Angioplasty Development program. The primary medical outcome for the registry is the combined incidence of death, recurrent non-fatal myocardial infarction and stroke.
