Management of non–ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction
Medical Clinics of North America, 2007Non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) is a major cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in the United States. It represents the highest risk category of non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTEACS), for which timely diagnosis and appropriate therapy are paramount to improve outcomes.

Revascularization Strategies for Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction
Current Cardiology Reports, 2019Non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) is an urgent medical condition that requires prompt application of simultaneous pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic therapies. The variation in patient clinical characteristics coupled with the multitude of treatment modalities makes optimal and timely management challenging.

Bad medicine: non-ST elevation myocardial infarction
BMJ, 2013No one ever got sued for doing too much. Accordingly, 60% of the UK patients prescribed statins are considered at low risk—that is, they do not need treatment.1 2 But doctors are treating cholesterol concentrations. No one is interested in the abstract concept of risk. It’s easier to do something than nothing. However, while a diagnosis may last only a

Unstable Angina and Non–ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction
American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2012Abstract Non–ST elevation acute coronary syndromes are responsible for approximately 1 million admissions to U.S. hospitals and twice as many to European hospitals each year. Thus, they are among the most common serious illnesses in adults, and are associated with an in-hospital mortality of approximately 5%.

The delayed activation wave in non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction
International Journal of Cardiology, 2013Little is known about the relationship between the electrocardiographic characteristics and the infarct related artery (IRA) in non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). We found a curious phenomenon in electrocardiograms of patients with acute occlusion of left circumflex artery in NSTEM: A notch or deflection was often present in the terminal ...

Unstable angina and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction
Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2002In the last 20 years there have been enormous advances in our understanding of the acute coronary syndromes and how to manage patients presenting with them. In the 1980s, we began to understand the importance of thrombus formation was in the pathophysiology of acute coronary syndromes.

0022-0736/$ – see fro doi:10.1016/j.jelectroc T Corresponding Fig. Thrombolytic therapy has been increasingly employed in acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction. Rapid thrombolytic administration and cardiac catheterization have been shown to decrease mortality. However, the risk of major bleeding requires the judicious administration of such therapy.

Treatment of diabetic patients with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction
Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine, 2011Diabetic patients with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction represent a group of patients at higher risk of mortality. The lower access to aggressive treatment strategies and suboptimal efficacy of pharmacologic therapies contribute to this inherent risk.

No gender difference in the extent of myocardial ischemia in non-ST elevation myocardial infarction
European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, 2012Significant gender differences in angiographic severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) have been demonstrated among patients with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). However, it is unknown if these gender differences are reflected in the extent of myocardial ischemia.We assessed segmental myocardial wall motion and perfusion by contrast ...

An unusual cause of a non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction
Heart, 2014A 66-year-old man presented with dull, left-sided chest pain for 1 week occurring mainly at rest. The symptoms had been present for 1 month but had increased in frequency over the preceding 3 days. He became acutely short of breath with substernal chest pain while climbing a flight of stairs the day of admission.
