This allowed clinicians to examine the management of myocardial infarction within their hospitals against targets specified by the National Service Framework (NSF) for coronary heart disease. The audit project produces annual reports on "How the NHS manages heart attacks" to show the performance of hospitals, ambulance services and cardiac ...
The National Congenital Heart Disease Audit (NCHDA), formerly called the Central Cardiac Audit Database, is a database established in 2000 for quality assurance purposes, to monitor the outcome for an individual who has undergone cardiac treatment. [1] It comprises six national heart disease audits.
The so-called "classical 3-point MACE" is defined as a composite of nonfatal stroke, nonfatal myocardial infarction, and cardiovascular death. [4] [5] Another study similarly defined MACE as a composite of nonfatal stroke, nonfatal acute coronary syndrome, and death from vascular causes. [6]
A myocardial infarction (MI), commonly known as a heart attack, occurs when blood flow decreases or stops in one of the coronary arteries of the heart, causing infarction (tissue death) to the heart muscle. [1] The most common symptom is retrosternal chest pain or discomfort that classically radiates to the left shoulder, arm, or jaw. [1]
Fibrinolysis is an alternative if timely PPCI not feasible. Third, this model does not incorporate noninvasive and invasive data, such as cardiac biomarkers, ST-segment resolution, left ventricular function and coronary angiography. TIMI-STEMI Score Calculation. Age < 65 y/o: +0; 65-74 y/o: +2 >= 75 y/o: +3; SBP < 100 mmHg: +3; Heart rate > 100: +2

Myocardial infarction complications may occur immediately following a myocardial infarction (heart attack) (in the acute phase), or may need time to develop (a chronic problem). After an infarction, an obvious complication is a second infarction, which may occur in the domain of another atherosclerotic coronary artery, or in the same zone if ...
A normal ECG does not rule out acute myocardial infarction. Mistakes in interpretation are relatively common, and the failure to identify high risk features has a negative effect on the quality of patient care. [12] It should be determined if a person is at high risk for myocardial infarction before conducting imaging tests to make a diagnosis ...
