Abstract
Each year, approximately 5,000 New Zealanders are admitted to hospital with first-time acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The Multi-Ethnic New Zealand Study of Acute Coronary Syndromes (MENZACS) is a prospective longitudinal cohort study embedded within the All New Zealand Acute Coronary Syndrome Quality Improvement (ANZACS-QI) registry in six hospitals.
The objective of MENZACS is to examine the relationship between clinical, genomic, and cardiometabolic markers in relation to presentation and outcomes post-ACS.
MENZACS represents a cohort with optimal contemporary management and will be a significant epidemiological bioresource for the study of environmental and genetic factors contributing to ACS in New Zealand’s multi-ethnic environment. The study will utilise clinical, nutritional, lifestyle, genomic, and biomarker analyses to explore factors influencing the progression of coronary disease and develop risk prediction models for health outcomes.
