The single-center MIR-registry was created to assess real-world prevalence, demographic characteristics and management of patients with acute coronary syndrome presenting in the emergency department (ED) of University of Heidelberg.
To conduct a comprehensive characterization of patients with symptoms of acute coronary syndrome or elevated troponin levels. Records include clinical routine parameters, there will be an expansion involving the collection of blood samples for the analysis of novel laboratory-based and omics-based biomarkers. The ACS registry is monothetically managed by the Department of Internal Medicine III at Heidelberg University Hospital and is intended to serve as a basis for further clinical diagnostic and outcome studies. The blood samples will serve as the foundation for a comprehensive analysis of established and novel laboratory-based markers, as well as omics-based biomarkers (miRNA, metabolomics, and proteomics). Follow-up was performed via review of medical reports, phone calls and postal queries. The outcome parameters comprised rates for all-cause mortality, non-hemorrhagic stroke, myocardial infarction, and hospitalization for any cause.
