ST2 and mortality in non–ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome
American Heart Journal, 2010ST2 is a member of the interleukin-1 receptor family that is up-regulated in conditions associated with increased myocardial strain. ST2 has been shown to be independently predictive of adverse outcome in heart failure and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, but its prognostic value in non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) has not

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.

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.

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 ...

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.

Non-ST-Segment Elevation Acute Coronary Syndromes (NSTE-ACS)
2018Despite advances in prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of coronary artery disease (CAD), non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE-ACS) remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. There has been a significant decrease in mortality in the last several decades, which has been less prominent in women.

Unstable Angina and Non-ST Segment Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome
DeckerMed Emergency Medicine, 2020Unstable angina and non-ST-segment acute coronary syndrome represent a frequent and serious presentation to the emergency department. While most patients present with chest discomfort, atypical presentations warrant that clinicians maintain a high index of suspicion. This review summarizes the present nomenclature, definitions, and pathophysiology for

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.

Assessing Performance and Quality After Non-ST Segment Elevation Acute Coronary Syndromes
Current Cardiology Reports, 2018This review summarizes and discusses the evidence base supporting current performance and quality measures used in assessing institutions in their care of patients with non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE-ACS).Professional societies in the USA and Europe have developed performance and quality measures for NSTE-ACS.

Management of non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes: Introduction
American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy, 2010While it was once believed that the primary physiological function of platelets was mediation of cellular hemostasis, it is now understood that activated platelets have a crucial role in the pathobiology of a variety of processes, including inflammation, leukocyte adhesion, progression ...
