Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This study will be a cohort study of 3000 patients admitted to hospital with first time acute coronary syndrome (ACS).

The protocol consists of a baseline visit during admission where clinical and dietary information will be collected along with a blood sample for genomic and biomarker analysis. Subsequent hospital admissions and mortality will be followed for up to 5 years.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 295326 0
Primary composite endpoint of death, recurrent ACS, revascularisation, and readmission for a cardiac cause.

This is assessed via linkage of data with the All NZ Acute Coronary Syndrome Quality Improvement (ANZACS-QI) database (which will include outcomes) via encrypted patient national health identifier number.
Timepoint [1] 295326 0
1, 3, and 5 years after baseline assessment
Secondary outcome [1] 315360 0
Whole-genome array-based genotyping will be performed on the DNA samples of participants to search for genetic variants affecting the risk of acute coronary syndromes.
Timepoint [1] 315360 0
3 years after baseline assessment
