Non-ST elevation myocardial infarction? Intervene! [PDF]
The GRACE score, derived from the Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events, is an easily applicable and validated tool for triage decision making in patients after non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) [1, 2]. In short, if patients with NSTEMI are admitted with a low GRACE score, a less aggressive diagnostic approach can be followed than in ...

Non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction in the elderly
Ischemic heart disease constitutes the leading cause of death in Western countries. The general incidence of acute coronary syndromes (ACS), especially non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), is growing. Advanced age is both a strong risk factor for ACS and an independent predictor of poorer clinical outcomes. Management of this entity

ST2 in Stable and Unstable Ischemic Heart Diseases [PDF]
Circulating suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (ST2) predicts cardiovascular outcomes and mortality in ischemic heart disease (IHD). ST2 does not correlate with traditional risk indicators as closely as N-terminal pro–brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP ...

Differential diagnosis of myocardial infarction and myopericarditis during a pandemic
Difficulties in the differential diagnosis of non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and acute myopericarditis during the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) pandemic appear to be a relevant and interesting issue.We present a clinical case of
