Abstract
Background
Although ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-STEMI (NSTEMI) are very similar regarding pathophysiology and clinical treatments, especially NSTEMI comprises a much more heterogenic group of patients and underlying diseases. We therefore aimed to assess the treatments and outcomes of both entities in a large contemporary cohort.
