Chest Pain Center Accreditation Is Associated With Improved In-Hospital Outcomes of Acute Myocardial Infarction Patients in China: Findings From the CCC-ACS Project.

ABSTRACT: Background Chest pain center (CPC) accreditation plays an important role in the management of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, no evidence shows whether the outcomes of AMI patients are improved with CPC accreditation in China. Methods and Results This retrospective analysis is based on a predesigned nationwide registry, CCC-ACS (Improving Care for Cardiovascular Disease in China-Acute Coronary Syndrome).
