What this trial studies

This observational study follows adults who have had acute coronary syndrome and PCI to see if delivering rapid, guideline-based care for diabetes, blood pressure, and cholesterol improves outcomes compared with standard care over 24 months. The approach aligns with ESC recommendations and focuses on timely initiation of secondary prevention strategies. Primary outcomes include major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events within two years. The study compares patients treated according to the protocol to those receiving usual care in real-world settings. The lead site is Zuyderland Medisch Centrum in Heerlen, Netherlands.
