Acute Coronary Syndrome: STEMI and Non-STEMI Interventions

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Acute coronary syndrome is a spectrum ranging from ST-elevation myocardial infarction to troponin-negative unstable angina. Plaque rupture or erosion leads to thrombus formation resulting in ischemic myocardial damage. Current guidelines recommend primary angioplasty for patients with STEMI and early invasive strategy (<72 h) for patients with high-risk ACS.
