Background: Since the definition of Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI) in 2000, its in-hospital management is rapidly developing. There is only a few available data, though, to describe the long-term changes in clinical characteristics, treatment patterns and outcomes in “real world” unselected patients and provide a feedback regarding guideline implementation.
Methods and results: We conducted a retrospective data collection of all consecutive patients admitted to our clinic with an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) between 2000 and 2009 (Myocardial Infarction Registry Ludwigshafen- MIRLU). From the overall 6119 patients included, 2976 were diagnosed with NSTEMI (48.6%).
