The Biochemical Aspects of a Non–ST-Segment Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome
The clinical course of an acute coronary syndrome can vary from relatively benign to potentially fatal. The biomarkers of myocardial necrosis relate to the amount of myocardial damage and are closely linked to a patient's prognosis. They are measured to help guide management decisions. Recent interest in myocardial neurohumoral

Non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes: an algorithm for decision [PDF]
We have read with great interest the report1 of the Task Force concerning the guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes (NST-ACS). We would like to compliment the Task Force members for this excellent work, updating the previous ESC guidelines concerning that matter.
