Cohort of STEMI Patients 2

Sponsor: Hospices Civils de Lyon

Summary

ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is an acute condition that accounts for 75% of sudden deaths in adults over 35 years of age and more than half of all cases of chronic heart failure. However, the mechanism of myocardial infarction remains poorly understood. At present, there is no national information system for myocardial infarction, as there is for other diseases such as multiple sclerosis (OFSEP cohort). The purpose of this cohort is to enable studies and research projects to be carried out on the descriptive epidemiology of myocardial infarction, monitoring of patients undergoing treatment (safety, efficacy), quality of life and functional consequences of infarction, and research into new biological and imaging prognostic biomarkers. Its general objective is to provide researchers, hospital practitioners, medical interns, academics or industrialists with a quality epidemiological tool for research.
