MINAP Myocardial Ischaemia National Audit Project

The Myocardial Ischaemia National Audit Project (MINAP) began in late 1998 when a broadly based Steering Group developed a dataset for acute myocardial infarction. The dataset has been further expanded to cover the management of other acute coronary syndromes. The Steering group represents key stakeholders including professional bodies, national government and patient representation, in conjunction with the British Cardiovascular Society.

MINAP is commissioned by the Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership (HQIP) who hold commissioning and funding responsibility for MINAP and other national clinical audits. An academic group, which reports to the Steering Group, has been established to facilitate research use of the data. It is the long term aim of the project to continue to provide, for all interested groups, including patients, commissioning bodies, cardiac networks of care, and academic researchers, first class data on the care for acute coronary syndromes within England and Wales.
