المستخلص

-The diagnosis, management and treatment of the various forms of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) which include ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), non-ST-segment elevation (non-STEMI), and unstable angina (UA) have been rapidly evolving in recent years.
- Surveys and registries are an effective meaning of assessing the implementation of guidelines. Although the adherence to guidelines has been shown to be associated with improved outcomes, their implementation remains sub-optimal.
- Examples for ACS registries include the GRACE study, the first and the second Euro Heart Survey for ACS.
- In Egypt, it was observed the overwhelming increase in the number of ischemic heart disease patients and the change in the natural history of the disease affecting certain classes of patients particularly young age and women in addition to the aggressive nature in many patients. However, there are no documented registries to assess the criteria and parameters of ACS in Egyptian patients. Therefore, we aim for establishing a simple system for registering ACS in Egypt according to our resources. This could help to delineate for the first time the demographics of patients of ACS in Egypt.
-This system could be a step for an Egyptian registry for ACS by applying it on different centers all over Egypt. Accordingly, Egyptian guidelines could be modified according to clinical practice.
