ACTION Registry
ACTION Registry®–GWTG™ is a national, risk-adjusted, outcomes-based quality improvement program that helps participating facilities measure and improve care for high-risk ACS patients with STEMI and NSTEMI. The result of the collaboration between the two leading national coronary artery disease registries, the NCDR® ACTION Registry® and the American Heart Association (AHA) Get With The GuidelinesSM-CAD Registry, ACTION Registry–GWTG will be the largest, most comprehensive national cardiovascular patient database ever developed by the medical profession.

Combining the strengths of the two programs, ACTION Registry–GWTG will collect a comprehensive set of data elements that provide healthcare professionals and their facilities with the information they need to monitor and improve adherence to the most current, science-based ACC/AHA treatment guidelines. Participation will greatly facilitate quality improvement efforts, optimize clinical care, and improve clinical outcomes for acute coronary syndrome patients.

Randomised evaluation of routine transfer for urgent PCI or local management for patients admitted with STEMI to centres without PCI facilities intially treated with reteplase, heparin and abciximab (CARESS in AMI)



European Society of Cardiology Annual Congress 2007; Vienna, Austria: 1-5 September View citation

Immediate transfer for PCI after the start of thrombolysis reduced death in ST elevated MI patients, the CARESS study found. Current practice in most European hospitals is to administer thrombolytics and only to refer patients for PCI if they show no evidence of reperfusion.
