For the treatment of the syndrome, the use of P&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;\/sub&gt;Y&lt;sub&gt;12&lt;\/sub&gt; inhibitors in addition to aspirin was strongly recommended (evidence IA). We studied the application of this recommendation in the setting of the emergency department in the vast and uneven area of the Italian region Lazio, three years after the release of these drugs in Italy. Methods: 121 consecutive patients (65% older than 65 years) affected by NSTEMI were recruited between May and July 2013. During the transition in the emergency department data was collected on patient\u2019s symptoms, syndrome severity and type &amp;amp; timing of treatments chosen. Adherence to the guidelines was evaluated considering the number of \u201cgood treated\u201d patients: these being the patients that received at least 80% of the main five recommendations on percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) timing, antiplatelet and anti-coagulant therapy suggested by the European Cardiology Task Force (ESC guidelines, 2011) for the very acute phase of NSTEMI. Results: Patients were treated with: 1) 35% of cases with double antiplatelet therapy and anticoagulation (DAPT+AC), 2) 22% of cases with single antiplatelet and anticoagulation (SAPT+AC), 3) 6% of cases with a single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT), 4) 6% of cases with a double antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) and 5) 24% of cases did not receive any therapy. Data on PCI was available for 95 patients and, of these, only 82% of the patients underwent the procedure. The percentage of \u201cgood treated\u201d patients were among of 20-40%, depending on PCI timing \u2013 as guidelines suggested \u2013 was considered as mandatory (20,5%) or as the extreme time limit (40%). Significant differences were found between patients treated in a central hospital with a hemodynamic laboratory active 24\/24hr (HUB) and patients treated in the other hospital (SPOKE). HUBs showed a higher percent of \u201cgood treated\u201d patients, a higher percentage of early invasive treated and a better adherence to recommended pharmacological therapy. Conclusions: A significant number of patients did not receive adequate treatment during the emergency department stay. The absence of hemodynamic services increases the risk of inadequate treatment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4081\/monaldi.2014.61","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,11,25]],"date-time":"2015-11-25T09:22:55Z","timestamp":1448443375000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A pilot study on the application of the current European guidelines for the management of acute coronary syndrome without elevation of ST segment (NSTEMI) in the Emergency Department setting in the Italian region Lazio"],"prefix":"10.4081","volume":"82","author":[{"given":"Gabriele","family":"Valli","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Francesca","family":"De Marco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maria Teresa","family":"Spina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Valentina","family":"Valeriano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Antonello","family":"Rosa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Valentina","family":"Minerva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Enrico","family":"Mirante","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maria Pia","family":"Ruggieri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Francesco Rocco","family":"Pugliese","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2549","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,11,24]]},"container-title":["Monaldi Archives for Chest Disease"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.monaldi-archives.org\/index.php\/macd\/article\/viewFile\/61\/49","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2015,11,25]],"date-time":"2015-11-25T09:24:13Z","timestamp":1448443453000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.monaldi-archives.org\/index.php\/macd\/article\/view\/61"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2015,11,24]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,12,30]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4081\/monaldi.2014.61","relation":{},"ISSN":["1122-0643"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1122-0643","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2015,11,24]]}}}
