The Midwest ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction Consortium: Design and Rationale.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Over the past 20 years, the development of regional ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) care systems has led to remarkable progress in achieving timely coronary reperfusion with attendant improvement in clinical outcomes, including survival. Despite this progress, contemporary STEMI care does not consistently meet the national guideline-recommended goals, which offers an opportunity for further improvement in STEMI outcomes. The lack of single, comprehensive, national STEMI registry complicates our ability to improve STEMI outcomes in particular for high-risk STEMI subsets such as cardiac arrest (CA) and/or cardiogenic shock (CS).

Objectives

To address this need, the Midwest STEMI Consortium (MSC) was created as a collaboration of 4 large, regional STEMI ca
