    Study Notes

    Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS)

    • ACS is the term preferred for an emergent situation with acute myocardial ischemia that can lead to myocardial death without prompt intervention.
    • It encompasses a spectrum of conditions related to reduced blood flow to the heart.

    Forms of ACS

    • Unstable Angina:
      • Characterized by coronary ischemia symptoms without evidence of acute myocardial infarction (MI) on ECG or elevated cardiac biomarkers.
    • Myocardial Infarction (MI):
      • Divided into two main types:
        • ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI):
          • Identified by characteristic ECG changes indicating acute MI.
        • Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI):
          • Marked by elevated cardiac biomarkers without distinct ST segment elevation on the ECG.

    Definition of ACS

    • ACS refers to a range of urgent health conditions caused by a sudden reduction of blood flow to the heart muscle.
