- Abstract
Introduction: The medical management of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) has changed significantly over the past few decades, primarily due to novel pharmacotherapies and improvement in coronary revascularization strategies. This registry was compiled from data from management of patient populations in high complexity centers from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Methods: Patients hospitalized in 21 centers in the city of Buenos Aires and peripheries, with a coronary unit service, hemodynamics available 24 hours and cardiac surgery are prospectively registered. Follow-up was performed at 6 months. Results: A total of 1100 patients were included; the final diagnosis was myocardial infarction in 62.% and unstable angina in 37.4%. The mean age of the population was 65.4 ± 11.5 and 77.2% were male. 27.6% of patients having diabetes mellitus, with 31.5% having a medical history of myocardial infarction. The initial management was invasive in 86.7%, with a median time for PCI of 18 hours (IQR 7-27,7). Over the course of the in-hospital stay, the rate of myocardial infarction was 5.2%, stroke 0.3% and total all-cause mortality 2.7%. The rate of in-hospital total bleeding events was 20.1%, with BARC ≥2 in 10.1% of patients. In the 6-month follow-up, the infarction rate was 8.4%, ACS 10.9%, and total mortality 5.7%. Conclusions: This registry shows the predominant usage of invasive approaches in management of patients with acute coronary syndrome without ST elevation, in high complexity medical centers. In this subset of patients, a low rate of in-hospital and follow up complications were also observed.
