Abstract
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) represents one of the most common causes of acute medical admissions to Australian hospitals. The incidence of ACS has increased and the outcomes of care have shown modest improvement for non-Indigenous Australians, compared to their Indigenous counterparts. The studies that compare Indigenous and non-Indigenous patients with acute myocardial infarction and chest pain are inconclusive about the reasons for in-hospital treatment disparities.
Aim: To ascertain if Indigenous status is a predisposing factor that impacts the cardiac care of patients who present to hospital with non-ST-elevation ACS and who are at high-risk of a secondary coronary event.
