Non–ST-Segment Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome
AACN Advanced Critical Care, 2011Of the nearly 1.4 million hospitalizations for acute coronary syndromes in 2006, approximately two-thirds were for unstable angina (UA) or non–ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). Given the high risk for in-hospital ischemic events and late mortality in patients with UA/NSTEMI, it is critical to accurately and rapidly diagnose these ...

Non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes
2015Non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes are life-threatening disorders, usually caused by acute coronary thrombosis and subsequent myocardial ischaemia, presenting without persistent ST-segment elevation in the initial electrocardiogram. According to the occurrence of myocardial necrosis, non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes are ...

Speckle Tracking Echocardiography in Non–ST-Segment Elevation Acute Coronary Syndromes
Current Problems in Cardiology, 2021Non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE-ACSs) are a group of clinical conditions characterized by acute myocardial ischemia. Conventional echocardiography is generally used to evaluate cardiac function using wall motion analysis and left ventricular ejection fraction but may be insufficient to explore all the complex features of NSTE ...

Managing patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome
Nursing Standard, 2006Acute coronary syndromes (ACSs) can be described as ST-segment elevation or non-ST-segment elevation, including unstable angina. Traditionally, ST-segment elevation ACS has been considered to be more serious, but non-ST-segment elevation ACS has higher mortality rates in the longer term.

Pathogenesis and Early Management of Non–ST-segment Elevation Acute Coronary Syndromes
Cardiology Clinics, 2006NSTE ACS is a clinically significant problem. Endothelial dysfunction triggered by traditional cardiovascular risk factors (and perhaps by other as yet unidentified risks) in the susceptible host leads to the formation and development of atherosclerotic plaque.

Antiplatelet Therapy in Non–ST-Segment Elevation Acute Coronary Syndromes
JAMA, 2004Acute coronary syndromes are a frequent cause of hospital admission for patients with coronary artery disease. The pathophysiology of acute coronary syndromes often involves plaque rupture or fissure with platelet aggregation. Recognition of the importance of platelet aggregation resulted in several large randomized trials testing 3 types of platelet ...

Combination Antithrombotic Management for Non–ST Segment Elevation Acute Coronary Syndromes
Interventional Cardiology Clinics, 2013Patients with non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTEACS) are at high risk for subsequent thrombotic events. Combination antithrombotic management with anticoagulant and antiplatelet medications can improve outcomes in these high-risk patients.

Transfusion practice and outcomes in non–ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes
American Heart Journal, 2008To describe the association between transfusion and outcomes as a function of nadir hematocrit (HCT) in patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE ACS).The adverse outcomes associated with transfusion in NSTE ACS is uncertain and may vary by nadir HCT of the transfused.Using data from 44242 patients with NSTE ACS in 400 US ...

Revised guidelines for the management of non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes
Current Cardiology Reports, 2003Unstable angina (UA) and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) refer to a spectrum of acute severe cardiac disorders characterized by myocardial oxygen demand and supply mismatch, caused by atherosclerotic coronary artery disease. Patients presenting with acute coronary syndromes represent a major medical problem, accounting for 2.5 ...

Cardiogenic Shock Complicating Non-ST-Segment Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome
2002Classically, cardiogenic shock has been considered a sequela of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, most commonly caused by left ventricular dysfunction resulting from ongoing ischemia and cell necrosis. In keeping with this scenario, most of the current literature on cardiogenic shock confines itself to ST-segment elevation.
