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
