Implementation of the ESC STEMI guidelines in female and elderly patients over a 20-year period in a large German registry.

Aims: We investigated the implementation of new guidelines in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients in a large real-world patient population in the metropolitan area of Berlin (Germany) over a 20-year period.

Methods: From January 2000 to December 2019, a total of 25 792 patients were admitted with STEMI to one of the 34 member hospitals of the Berlin-Brandenburg Myocardial Infarction Registry (B2HIR) and were stratified for sex and age < 75 and ≥ 75 years.

Results: The median age of women was 72 years (IQR 61-81) compared to 61 years in men (IQR 51-71).

Patient reported experience and adherence to remote patient management in chronic heart failure patients: a posthoc analysis of the TIM-HF2 trial.

Aims: Remote patient management (RPM) enables early detection and prevention of deterioration in heart failure (HF) patients by measuring vital parameters. The analysis objective is to assess patient reported experience with RPM, adherence to daily measurements, and outline affecting factors both.

Methods And Results: Telemedical interventional management in-HF2 was conducted in 2013-18 with 1 538 HF patients with a 12-month follow-up.

Changes in treatment for NSTEMI in women and the elderly over the past 16 years in a large real-world population.

Aims: This study investigates the changes in therapy for Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI) over the past 16 years in a large German registry. In particular, the high-risk population of female and elderly patients was analyzed.

Methods: In total, 19.
