Epidemiology and clinical features of acute coronary syndrome patients in selected hospitals in Greece: the CALLINICUS-Hellas registry.

Demosthenes Panagiotakos et al. · Acta cardiologica · 2026
Background

The aim of this study is to evaluate features of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients, in Greece, using information from a nationwide registry, the Clinical events and Adherence to Lipid LowerINg therapy In aCUte coronary Syndrome (CALLINICUS)-Hellas registry.

Purpose

CALLINICUS-Hellas Registry is an ongoing, national, multicentre observational registry that aims to evaluate features and incidence of ACS patients in Greece.

Methods

CALLINICUS-Hellas Registry is an ongoing, national, multicentre observational registry that aims to evaluate features and incidence of ACS patients in Greece.

n = 2,068 patients
5.8%
Results
Roughly 1 in 17 patients had a cardiovascular death, heart attack, stroke, or unstable angina
n = 2,068 patients
More results

The most common ACS manifestation was NSTEMI (48%) in both sexes, followed by STEMI (37.4%) and UA (13.1%).

The male-to-female ratio was approximately 4-to-1.

The sex ratio favours males before age 60 years but shifts towards females thereafter.

The mean age of ACS was 60 years in males, and 63 years in females.

“
Conclusion

By addressing the lack of recent registry data, the present study provides an updated description of the demographic, lifestyle, clinical, and healthcare characteristics of ACS patients treated in selected Greek hospitals, offering contemporary insights that may inform future research and healthcare planning.
