Overview

National ACS registry heterogeneity limits reliable cross-country outcome comparisons; supports harmonization of core data elements to strengthen future research.

Key Points

  • The review aims to summarize the methodologies and features of national acute coronary syndrome registries in high-income countries.
  • Reviewed three electronic databases to identify national registries from 25 high-income countries.
  • Included studies published since 2000 that discussed registry protocols or quantitative results related to acute coronary syndrome.
  • Analyzed data from registries focusing on suspected acute coronary syndrome or myocardial infarction diagnoses.
  • Twenty-four countries have established national registries, with nine currently active.
  • Inclusion criteria varied significantly, focusing on suspected diagnoses or confirmed myocardial infarction.
  • Primary outcomes included all-cause mortality and major adverse cardiovascular events at different follow-up intervals.
