EMCREG-International is dedicated to research and education in the fields of Emergency Medicine and Acute Care. Since 1989, EMCREG has evolved into an international research and education network boasting 55 members representing 45 international academic researchers institutions, and have enrolled more 40,000 patients in trials, produced 50+ educational CME monographs, and held 35 live educational symposium. Our interests cover research and education in cardiovascular and neurovascular emergencies, neurointensive care, critical care medicine, and all acute care topics. Our focus is not only on education the physicians but all specialties involved in the care of acutely ill patients, including hospitalists, advanced practice providers, nursing and prehospital care as well as emergency physicians.

In August, 2004 the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association 2004 ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) guidelines were published. This treatise presents a comprehensive approach to the diagnosis and treatment of STEMI extending from the first pre-hospital medical contact of the patient with an ambulance, through emergency department care, to the appropriate approach to these patients on hospital discharge and beyond. The Emergency Medicine Cardiac Research and Education Group (EMCREG)-International has provided, through this concise summary of the STEMI guidelines, a practical approach for emergency physicians for this disease process.
