Multiple issues orphan June 2009 unreferenced June 2009 wikify December 2011 The Myocardial Ischaemia Audit Project MINAP previously known as the myocardialinfarction National Audit Database began in late 1998 when a broadly based steering group developed a dataset for acute myocardialinfarction AMI . This allowed clinicians to examine the management of myocardialinfarction within their hospitals against targets specified by the National Service Framework for Coronary Heart Disease NSF . The audit project produces annual reports How the NHS manages heart attacks to show the performance of hospitals, ambulance services and cardiac networks in England and Wales against national standards and targets for the care of heart attack patients. MINAP has recently changed its name from the MyocardialInfarction National Audit Database to the Myocardial Ischaemia National Audit Project to reflect the importance of all acute coronary syndromes.Quarterly reports are available for hospitals, Strategic Health Authorities, and the Department of Health. MINAP provides thrombolysis data to the Healthcare Commission for their Annual Health Check. MINAP provides data to ambulance services to help monitor patient outcomes and support improvements in training and care delivery. MINAP also provides data to cardiac networks to support service improvement. MINAP is the first national audit to release annual reports showing hospital performance against NSF targets in the public domain which are available below. Sustained improvement of performance against NSF targets for thrombolysis and use of secondary prevention medication has been demonstrated since the end of 2000.

A myocardial bridge occurs when one of the Coronary circulation coronary arteries tunnels through the cardiac muscle myocardium rather than resting on top of it. Typically, the arteries rest on top of the heart muscle and feed blood down into smaller vessels that populate throughout the myocardium. But if the muscle grows around one of the larger arteries, then a myocardial bridge is formed. As the heart squeezes to pump blood, the muscle exerts pressure across the bridge and constricts the artery. This defect is present from birth. It can lead to uncomfortable, powerful heartbeats and angina. The incidence of the condition in the general population is estimated at 5 based on autopsy findings, ref name Pelliccia2009 citation last Pelliccia first Antonio year 2009 title Sports Cardiology Casebook publisher Springer isbn 9781848820418 page 141 ref but significance when found in association with other cardiac conditions is unknown. ref name Ragosta2009 citation last Ragosta first Michael year 2009 title Cardiac Catheterization An Atlas and DVD publisher Elsevier Health Sciences isbn 9781416039990 page 146 ref The condition is diagnosed on a scaled based on what percentage of obstruction occurs.
