Abstract
Background
Apart from few small single-center studies there are limited data about STEMI patients in Egypt.
Patients and methods
The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Registry on ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction is a prospective, multicenter and observational registry. Nineteen Egyptian centers (with and without PCI facilities) participated in this registry with 1356 patients who were compared to 7420 patients from other ESC countries. Patient recruitment started from March 2016 to February 2018.
Aims of the study
The aims of this study was to describe the characteristics of patients with STEMI, to assess STEMI management patterns, to evaluate in-hospital patient outcome and to compare Egyptian patients with other ESC countries.
Results
Compared to other ESC countries, Egyptian patients were younger (mean age 55.4±11.3 vs. 62.9±12.4; P
