Irish Heart Attack Audit summary report 2024
Abstract
The Irish Heart Attack Audit (IHAA) measures the care of patients who suffered a major heart attack in 2024 and were treated in 1 of 10 specialist cardiac hospitals, known as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) centres. This type of heart attack is known as an ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). A STEMI happens when the supply of blood to the heart is suddenly cut off, usually by a blood clot (thrombosis). In Europe, heart disease is the largest cause of death for both men and women.
