Non–ST-Segment Elevation Acute Coronary Syndromes [PDF]
Non–ST-segment elevation (NSTE) acute coronary syndromes (ACS), encompassing NSTE myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and unstable angina, lack the declarative electrocardiographic findings that readily identify patients with STEMI, yet comprise >70% of all ACS.1–3 Unlike STEMI patients who receive uniform treatment to restore flow in an occluded artery ...
