Popis: AIM To examine the incidence and treatment of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) as well as 30-day and 1-year prognoses of patients in different regions of Hungary. According to the statistical system of the European Union, Hungary can be divided into three major socio-economic regions-west Hungary, central Hungary and east Hungary. METHODS AND RESULTS The Hungarian Myocardial Infarction Registry (HUMIR) is a prospective comprehensive and mandatory disease registry for patients with AMI. The total population of Hungary is currently 9.8 million: 39% live in the eastern region (ER), 31% in the central region (CR) and 30% in the western region (WR). Population over 30 years, the age-standardised incidence of AMI was 177.5 (175.7-179.3) per 100 000 person-year. During hospital treatment, 82.5%-84.6% of patients with ST-elevation (STEMI) and 54.8%-58.8% without ST-elevation (NSTEMI) myocardial infarction underwent PCI. The total ischaemic time of patients with STEMI was shortest in WR (221 minutes) compared with two other regions (CR: 225 minutes and ER: 262 minutes). In the STEMI group, the 30-day mortality rates of male patients were lowest in the WR (P = .03). If PCI was performed, mortality rates for both sexes were lowest in the WR (P
