The Korea Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry (KAMIR) was the first nationwide, population-based, multicenter data collection registry in Korea designed to track outcomes of patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The registry included 51 community and teaching hospitals and contained data on 14,870 patients through January 2008. Patients with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction had a higher prevalence of co-morbidities and worse outcome than patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction after being discharged from hospital, emphasizing the need for aggressive outpatient management of these patients. Risk factors and prognosis after AMI were similar to those in other registries from the West. A number of innovative approaches have been implemented in numerous studies generated by the KAMIR and have set standards of care for AMI in the Korean population.
韩国急性心肌梗死注册研究（KAMIR）是韩国第一个全国范围、基于人群的多中心数据收集注册研究，旨在跟踪急性心肌梗死（AMI）患者的预后。该注册研究纳入了 51 家社区医院和教学医院，截至 2008 年 1 月共纳入 14870 例患者的数据。非 ST 段抬高型心肌梗死患者出院后的合并症患病率更高，预后更差，这强调了对这些患者进行积极的门诊管理的必要性。AMI 后的危险因素和预后与西方其他注册研究相似。KAMIR 开展的多项研究采用了许多创新方法，为韩国人群的 AMI 治疗确立了标准。
