Over the last two decades, considerable progress has been made in the management of myocardial infarction, both in the acute phase and in monitoring beyond the hospital phase. However changing practices in the "real world" and their impact on prognosis in the medium and long term patients admitted to the intensive care unit for acute myocardial infarction are relatively little studied exhaustively.
The study of clinical, biological and genetic characteristics of patients and their conditions of care, help to identify patients at risk for increased morbidity and mortality after myocardial infarction and could be the basis for the subsequent realization of specific studies on the optimal therapeutic management of the disease according to the different risk profiles.

Inclusion Criteria:
1. Male or female aged over 18 years
2. Patients admitted within 48 hours of onset of symptoms in a coronary intensive care unit (USIC) for acute myocardial infarction (MI) defined by:
A rise and fall of typical troponin (or CPKMb) associated with at least one of the following:
* symptoms consistent with myocardial ischemia
* development of pathological Q waves
* repolarisation disorders related to ischemia (or in addition to ST depression, T wave inversion)
3. And having agreed to participate in the study.
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Refusal to consent
2. MI occurring in the 48 hours after therapeutic intervention (bypass surgery or coronary angioplasty or other surgical procedure)
3. Diagnosis of myocardial reversed in favor of an alternative diagnosis
Primary outcome measure(s)
