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.

Guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes. [PDF]
An issue, which is not addressed by the guidelines, is whether, in the absence of Sgarbossa's criteria, the association of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) type chest pain1 and left bundle branch block (LBBB) falls within the province of non-ST segment elevation ACS (nSTE-ACS) or whether it falls within the province of acute myocardial infarction ...
