Background
ACS is three diseases involving the coronary arteries:
- ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) (30%)
- Non ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI) (25%)
- Unstable Angina (38%)
DDx
Diagnosis
- ECG (Diagnosis)
- ECG is normal in 8% of all confirmed MI's
- ACS - Risk Stratification
- ACS - Anatomical Correlation
Treatment
Intensity of Rx should be based on likelihood that sx are due to acute coronary thombosis

- Non ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI)
- Unstable Angina
