Acute pharmacologic management of myocardial infarction in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention: insights from the Italian nationwide EYESHOT-2 prospective registry.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

International guidelines recommend specific antithrombotic strategies for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, real-world practice often diverges. This study aimed to assess antithrombotic therapy use in AMI patients admitted to cardiac care units (CCUs) across Italy.

Methods and results

The EmploYEd Antithrombotic Therapies in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndromes Hospitalized in Italian Cardiac Care Units (EYESHOT-2) registry (NCT06316128) is an Italian nationwide, prospective study evaluating AMI management, focusing primarily on PCI-treated patients. Between 1 and 29 February 2024, 2806 patients were enrolled across 183 Italian CCUs. Percutaneous coronary intervention was performed in 83.5% of case
