The Gruppo Italiano per lo Studio della Sopravvivenza nell'Infarto Miocardico (GISSI) (Italian group for the study of the survival of myocardial infarction) is a cardiology research group founded as a collaboration between two Italian organisations – the Mario Negri Institute and the Associazione Nazionale dei Medici Cardiologi Ospedalieri (ANMCO).[1][2]

Four large-scale clinical trials (GISSI 1,[3] GISSI 2,[3] GISSI 3,[4] GISSI Prevention[5]) have involved over 60,000 people with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).[1][5][6]
