REVASCULARIZATION FOR CORONARY HEART DISEASE IN CROATIA

Abstract

It would be very useful if other centers in our country (for now there are at least 8 of them; one each in Krapinske Toplice, Rijeka, Slavonski Brod, Split, Zadar and three in Zagreb) would present their own results for comparison and harmonization. 1) The ratio of coronary events with ST-junction elevation (STEMI) to those without elevation (NSTEMI) is unexpected (288:115 or 71.5:28.5%)1 because according to data from large series2,3 the opposite relationship is expected. Is it a pathology specific to us, a certain selection of patients or some other factor (eg different diagnostic criteria)?
