Despite the year-on-year decrease, coronary artery disease (CAD) still remains one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide. With advances in technology and our understanding of cardiac disease, we can now treat CAD using minimally invasive interventional techniques. This has revolutionised treatment for and improved the lives of many patients with CAD. Although trials have assessed various therapeutic strategies in various populations, real-world evidence of intervention and medical treatment among patients with CAD is increasingly recognised as an important part of providing safety and efficacy data and improving the care we provide.
Regional heart attack services have improved clinical outcomes following ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) by facilitating early reperfusion by primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Early discharge after primary PCI is welcomed by patients and increases the efficiency of health care.
This data will add to that literature by assessing the characteristics and outcomes of patients with CAD, concentrating on those who are discharged via the early discharge pathway. It will also identify and characterise predictors of outcomes, and improve risk stratification and diagnostic evaluation.
