…interest. Following an acute myocardial infarction (MI), patients tend to want practical information pertinent to survival such as risk factors, anatomy and physiology, medications and physical activity.[#scott-j-thompson-dr.-2003] Whereas patients with heart failure tend to want information related to long term management including signs and symptoms followed by prognosis, risk factors…

…artery disease ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction - STEMI Early recognition and differentiation of ischaemic chest pain is important. When someone presents with symptoms consistent with ACS they should immediately have an ECG, followed by a clinical medical assessment. All patients need to be given oral aspirin150-300mg if ACS is suspected…
…the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (MI) and prognosis. Diagnosis of acute MI is dependent upon rise and fall of the biomarker, in addition to clinical findings or ECG changes. Serial troponins are frequently done to determine the peak troponin post MI, which has prognostic value. Cardiac troponins may be…

…includes unstable angina and myocardial infarction (MI). Although it is not included under the umbrella of ACS, stable angina is categorised within ischaemic heart disease. Temporary discomfort occurs from a chronic flow limiting lesion within a coronary artery and occurs when the demand for blood supplied to the myocardium is…

…unstable angina, non-ST elevated myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and ST elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI). ACS is typically caused by occlusion of coronary vessels following atherosclerotic plaque disruption with subsequent thrombus formation. For more information see pathophysiology of ACS. For further guidance refer to the ACS Treatment Algorithm. Antithrombotics for ACS Antithrombotic…
