The Hungarian Myocardial Infarction Registry (HUMIR) was updated to include input from all PCI centres whether the treated patients participated in structured training programs.Limitations / comments
The structured education at an acute care setting requires substantial resources, therefore not all PCI centres participate. Based on HUMIR about 25% of AMI patients were enrolled into the program and data was missing from 30%. COVID had a significant negative impact on the program.
