It represents the acute life threatening phase of coronary artery disease (3). Current knowledge regarding the characteristics, treatments and outcomes of patients diagnosed with the complete spectrum of acute coronary syndromes is limited to data derived from clinical trials and/or from national registries. Acute coronary syndrome patients enrolled in randomized, clinical trials are a highly selected, lower-risk subgroup. Hence, unless the trial is very large and heterogeneous, it tends to reflect an {u2018}ideal{u2019} study set rather than the diversity of clinical practice. (4) {uF076} Objective: To better delineate the change in the characteristics, treatments, and outcomes of patients with (ACS) by comparing current results with those of previous local registries that have been done in the past years ER -
