[Comparison of the clinical characteristics and hospital treatment of myocardial infarction with and without ST-segment elevation in Hungary. National Registry of Myocardial Infarction].

Abstract

INTRODUCTION:

Afew data have been published on the clinical characteristics of different types of myocardial infarction in Hungary.

AIM:

To compare clinical data of patients with ST-segment elevation and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction based on the National Myocardial Infarction Registry database.

METHOD:

Data recorded in the National Myocardial Infarction Registry between January 1, 2010 and June 30, 2012 were included in the analysis.

RESULTS:

Patients treated with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (n = 5237) were older and had more comorbidities compared to those with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (n = 6670). Coronarography and percutaneous coronary intervention were performed more frequently in the latter group. There was no significant difference in in-hospital mortality between the two groups (5.3% and 4.9%). Medication for secondary prevention after myocardial infarction was applied in nearly 90% of the patients in both groups. Dual antiplatelet therapy was more often applied after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.

CONCLUSIONS:

The study confirmed important differences in the clinical characteristics and similar hospital prognosis between the two patient groups.
