Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This study is a retrospective registry which is designed to evaluate the contemporary patterns of care for patients who are admitted to hospital with an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in Australia and New Zealand for a 2 week period between 14 - 27 August, 2012.

Information on the clinical characteristics, the in-hospital investigations and management patterns provided during 'usual care' will be compared to guidelines for recommended practice. The data will be collected from the medical records, entered onto an electronic case report form and transmitted to a central data repository at The George Institute in Sydney for analysis and reporting.

A study coordinator in each State will obtain follow-up data by contacting patients12 months after their admission to assess morbidity and mortality.
