In 30 seconds
This systematic review developed quality indicators (QIs) for post-myocardial infarction care, focusing on the transition to chronic coronary syndrome. Collaborating with the European Association of Preventive Cardiology, 18 QIs were identified across seven domains of care. These indicators aim to standardize long-term management and address care gaps for high-risk patients after myocardial infarction.
Key findings
- Eighteen quality indicators were identified across seven domains of post-MI care.
- The QIs were developed using a systematic review and a modified Delphi approach.
- The indicators align with the 2024 ESC guidelines on chronic coronary syndromes.
Why it matters
Standardizing care through quality indicators can enhance the long-term management of patients post-myocardial infarction, potentially improving outcomes and reducing variations in clinical practice.
