RESUMO
The authors summarize the most relevant data of myocardial infarction patients according to the National Myocardial Infarction Registry data base. In 2015 12,681 patients had 12,941 acute myocardial infarctions. Less than half of patients (44.4%) were treated with ST elevation myocardial infarction. National Ambulance Service was the first medical contact of more than half (51.4%) of patients with ST elevation infarction. Prehospital thrombolysis was occasionally done (0.23%), but 91.6% of the patients were treated in hospital with invasive facilities. The median of the ischaemic time (time between onset of symptoms and arrival at the invasive laboratory) was 223 minutes. Most of the patients (94%) with positive coronary arteriography were treated with percutaneous coronary intervention. The 30 day mortality of the whole group was 12.8% vs. 8.6% of patients treated with an invasive procedure. CONCLUSION: comparing the national and international registry data we conclude that we should analyse and decrease the prehospital delay time to improve the patient care in Hungary. Orv.
