BACKGROUND: Abciximab is established as adjunct to primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Based on some smaller studies, ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) networks in various European countries have adopted the start of abciximab before transfer to the catheterization laboratory (cathlab) hospital as part of their routine treatment options. Although a recently published study did not reveal improved clinical outcome when starting abciximab before the cathlab, a potential benefit from such early administration, in particular in the setting of transfer networks, remains unclear and has been the subject of debate.

Inclusion Criteria
PATIENTS:
All consecutive STEMI patients >=18years arriving to the Cath Lab hospital (invasive facility center) from transfer.
Transfer with respect to this registry is defined as patients that reach the Cath Lab hospital:
transferred from a surrounding regional community hospitals that the Cath Lab hospital has an established referral pattern with or after being picked–up by an ambulance which is equipped/staffed to provide specific medical therapy (like prehospital thrombolysis or upstream abciximab). Usually these have a physician or specifically trained nurse on board.
Exclusion Criteria
Exclusion Criteria:
Patients who arrive to the Cath Lab from other pathways than those specified above (a. and b.), e.g. those who come by ambulances that do not provide specific medical therapy or arrive directly to the ER of the Cath Lab hospital by own feet/car will not be included in this registry. Patients from controlled clinical trials shall be included as long as their actual treatment is fully known. Thus, participants from randomized trials with blinded treatment cannot be included in this registry.
