Further study details as provided by AstraZeneca:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • The number of patients who can be guided through the structured outpatient care program offered within this project by assessing the percentage of patients with diagnosis of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) following the care program. [ Time Frame: up to 24 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    after collecting all Case Record Form


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Description of reasons of premature withdrawal from the program. [ Time Frame: up to 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    after collecting all Case Record Form

  • Description of changes in quality of life (QoL) during the period of 12 months. [ Time Frame: up to 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    after collecting all Case Record Form

  • Description of acceptance of the program between subgroups (e.g. gender, risk scores, types of ACS, multimorbidity, medical treatment, therapy). [ Time Frame: up to 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    after collecting all Case Record Form

  • Description of patients's needs in long term care of ACS. [ Time Frame: up to 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    after collecting all Case Record Form

  • Description of adherence to guideline conform treatment and patients' compliance with the lifestyle changes recommended by the physician (e.g. body weight, blood pressure, Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL)). [ Time Frame: up to 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    after collecting all Case Record Form

  • Description of newly occurred cardiac symptoms (e.g. troponin, LVH), as determined by routine examinations by the cardiologists, which cause a declining state of health. [ Time Frame: up to 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    after collecting all Case Record Form

  • Frequency of changes in ambulant treatment according to the acceptance of the program. [ Time Frame: up to 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    after collecting all Case Record Form

  • Frequency of newly occurred symptomatic acute cardiac events according to the acceptance of the program. [ Time Frame: up to 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    after collecting all Case Record Form

  • Frequency of resource use according to the acceptance of the program. [ Time Frame: up to 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    after collecting all Case Record Form

Criteria
