ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is associated with increased mortality and morbidity. Although remarkable progress has been made in the management of STEMI in high-income countries, contemporary data to evaluate processes and outcomes of STEMI care in India is limited. The North Indian ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NORIN STEMI) registry is a prospective cohort study based at government funded and largely free of cost tertiary medical centers in New Delhi, India. These hospitals serve a large proportion of the patients with lower socioeconomic status presenting from multiple states in India, as many centers in these states lack adequate specialized cardiovascular care. The study has been approved by the Institutional Review Boards of each institution and informed consent has been obtained from study participants. The NORIN STEMI registry aims to provide important insights regarding contemporary risk factors profiles, practice patterns, and prognosis in patients with STEMI in an underserved population in North India. These findings may identify opportunities to improve the outcomes of patients with STEMI in India.
ST 段抬高型心肌梗死（STEMI）与死亡率和发病率增加有关。尽管在高收入国家对 STEMI 的管理已取得显著进展，但评估印度 STEMI 护理过程和结果的当代数据有限。印度北方 STEMI 注册研究（NORIN STEMI）是一项基于新德里政府资助的三级医疗中心的前瞻性队列研究，这些医疗中心基本免费，为来自印度多个邦的具有较低社会经济地位的大量患者提供服务，因为这些邦的许多中心缺乏足够的专门心血管护理。该研究已获得每个机构的机构审查委员会的批准，并已获得研究参与者的知情同意。NORIN STEMI 注册研究旨在为印度北部服务不足人群中 STEMI 患者的当代风险因素、实践模式和预后提供重要见解。这些发现可能为改善印度 STEMI 患者的预后提供机会。
