Acute coronary syndrome can be manifested as: unstable angina pectoris, acute myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation or sudden cardiac death.
According to the tenth revision of International Classification of Diseases (MKB10) code of acute myocardial infarction in 121, repeated acute myocardial infarction I22 and unstable angina pectoris I20.0.
As the most severe form of ischemic heart disease (CHD), acute coronary syndrome is one of the most common cause of emergency admission to hospital and sudden death in the developed parts of the world, and in recent decades in developing countries.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the annual average in the world of acute myocardial infarction diagnosed 6 million people, with lethal outcome occurs in more than 25% of cases.
Previous research in the world and have provided us valuable clinical, but no epidemiological data on the incidence of acute coronary syndrome in the population.
Epidemiological, population studies of acute coronary syndromes are rare. One of them is a Danish cohort study with more than 130,000 people aged 30 to 69 years which is estimated that crude incidence rate of acute coronary syndrome was 234 per 100,000.
For example in Serbia, to the end of the 90s the number of reported persons with coronary disease was far lower than the average number of deaths and as much as 20 times lower than expected number of patients with ischemic heart disease.
