Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is one of the leading causes of death; however, updated data regarding clinical presentation and current management are missing in Greece. This study aimed to prospectively record the demographic and clinical characteristics of a representative sample of patients suffering from AMI, their management, and short-term outcomes.ILIAKTIS is a national, prospective, multicenter, noninterventional study conducted under the auspices of Hellenic Society of Cardiology (HCS) and the European Initiative Stent - Save a Life. From 1In total, 1862 patients (mean age: 64.2 ± 13.2 yrs.; 77.2% males) with AMI were enrolled. More patients presented with NSTEMI (56.8%) than with STEMI (43.2%). Primary PCI (pPCI) was the preferable treatment option for STEMI patients in PCI-hospitals (76.9% vs. 39.9% for non-PCI, p .001) and thrombolysis in non-PCI-hospitals (47.3% vs. 17.9% for PCI-hospitals, p .001). The mean length of hospital stay was 5.6 days. In-hospital mortality was less likely in NSTEMI compared to that in STEMI patients (aOR = 0.30; 95% CI 0.18 to 0.49). Patients initially admitted in non-PCI-hospitals showed increased risk for in-hospital (aOR = 2.29; 95% CI 1.20 to 4.42) and 30-day mortality (aOR = 1.88; 95% CI 1.20 to 2.96).This study shows that the proportion of STEMI and NSTEMI patients managed interventionally has significantly increased, resulting in better clinical outcomes compared to previous Greek surveys.
