Abstract
Aim: Based on data from the Russian REGION-MI registry, to characterize patients with myocardial infarction (MI) hospitalized in Russian hospitals, describe their historical, demographic, and clinical characteristics, and compare the results with the data of previous Russian and international registries of acute coronary syndrome.
Material and methods: REGION-MI is a multicenter prospective observational study. The follow-up period was divided into three stages: during the hospital stay, at 6 and 12 months after the inclusion in the registry. Demographic and historic data and information about the present case of MI were entered into the patient's individual record card.
Results: The median age of all patients was 63 years; 68% of patients were men. The mean age of women was older than that of men. Among all MI cases, 70% were ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) were older and had more comorbidities than patients with STEMI. The median time from the first symptoms to ECG recording was two hours, and from the first symptoms to CAG 7 hours. CAG was performed in 91% of patients with STEMI and 84% of patients with NSTEMI. Stenting was performed in 69% of patients. Although many patients had a complicated cardiovascular history, at the time of admission only 31.5% of patients were taking at least one drug from the groups of antiplatelets, oral anticoagulants, statins, and beta-blockers.
Conclusion: Patients with MI in the Russian Federation are younger than patients with MI in European countries. Among the clinical and historical characteristics, conspicuous is the presence of modifiable risk factors in many patients, as well as the presence of a previous diagnosis of ischemic heart disease. Furthermore, a small proportion of patients took statins, antiplatelet agents or anticoagulants at the outpatient stage, which indicates a great reserve of both primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular diseases in the Russian Federation. The delayed seeking medical help is also noticeable, which indicates the need for increasing the public awareness of the symptoms of MI and the importance of timely hospitalization.
