==Background==
[[File:MI types.png|thumbnail|Myocardial Infarction types]]
*Abbreviation: ACS
*Refers to a spectrum of conditions compatible with acute myocardial ischemia and/or infarction that are usually due to an abrupt reduction in coronary blood flow.
 
===Clinical Categories===
#[[ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI)]] (30%)
#[[Non ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI)]] (25%)
#[[Unstable Angina]] (38%)
#*The new title, “Non-ST-Elevation Acute Coronary Syndromes,” emphasizes the continuum between UA and NSTEMI<ref>AHA ACA - NSTEMI ACS Guidelines 2014 [http://circ.ahajournals.org/content/130/25/e344 View Online]</ref>
#*NSTEMI myocardium is damaged enough to increase biomarkers, UA is not.
 
===MI Types by Causation<ref>Third Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction http://circ.ahajournals.org/content/126/16/2020.full.pdf</ref>===
*Type 1 - Spontaneous Myocardial Infarction
**Atherosclerotic plaque rupture or intraluminal thrombus in one or more of the coronary arteries
*Type 2 - Myocardial Infarction Secondary to an Ischaemic Imbalance
**Condition other than CAD contributes to an imbalance between myocardial oxygen supply and/or demand
*Type 3 - Cardiac Death Due to Myocardial Infarction
**Suffer cardiac death with symptoms suggestive of myocardial ischaemia without elevated biomarkers
*Type 4 - Myocardial Infarction Associated With Revascularization Procedure
**4a: Related to PCI
**4b: Related to Stent Thrombosis
*Type 5 - Myocardial Infarction Related to CABG Procedure
 
===Prognosis===

**[[ECG]] is normal in 8% of all confirmed MI's
**In [[LBBB]] see [[Sgarbossa's Criteria]]

==Disposition==
*Admit
**Ischemic ECG changes
**Pacemakers
**LBBB
**Positive troponins
**Abnormal vital signs
*ACC/AHA rec need for provocative testing withing 72 hrs, consider admitting
*For low risk (HEART) pts, may be better off discharge home with follow up<ref> Weinstock MB, Weingart S, Orth F, VanFossen D, Kaide C, Anderson J, Newman DH. Risk for Clinically Relevant Adverse Cardiac Events in Patients With Chest Pain at Hospital Admission. JAMA Intern Med. 2015 Jul;175(7):1207-12. </ref>
**Risk of MACE after neg ED work up 1/2422 vs Risk of preventable adverse event in hospital is 1/164
