Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) refers to a group of conditions caused by sudden, reduced blood flow to the heart, resulting in myocardial ischemia. It includes: 1. 2. 3. 4.
Unstable Angina (UA) – No myocardial damage, but severe ischemia. Causes severe activity limitations. Unrelieved with rest and/or medication. Risk for myocardial infarction – call 911 Chronic Stable Angina-Relieved with rest and/or medication Non-ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI) – Myocardial damage without ST-segment elevation. ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) – Myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation, indicating full-thickness ischemia.
