Therapeutic strategies in the CPU

Criterium	Minimum requirement	Additional recommendation
Algorithms	STEMI (different SOP for self-referral and referral through emergency service), NSTEMI, unstable angina pectoris, stable angina pectoris, hypertensive crisis, acute pulmonary embolism, acute aortic syndrome, atrial fibrillation, cardiogenic shock, resuscitation, ICD discharge, pacemaker dysfunction, atrial fibrillation	Additional algorithms
Catheterization laboratory	Each STEMI: within 90–120 min (contact-to-balloon time) or according to current guidelines Each NSTEMI/UA: <24 h after admission for high-risk patients (GRACE > 140), within 72 h for intermediate risk patients, or according to guidelines
STEMI program	Direct transfer to catheterization laboratory

STEMI ST-elevation myocardial infarction, NSTEMI Non-STEMI, UA unstable angina pectoris, SAP stable angina pectoris
