French Cohort of Myocardial Infarction Evaluation
brief summary
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.
detailed 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.
