reduced blood flow to the heart. The syndrome also includes conditions such as ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-STEMI (NSTEMI) (10). The underlying mechanism usually involves the rupture
When a patient is suspected of having ACS, you immediately determine if it is unstable angina, STEMI or NSTEMI. You give a loading dose of anti platelet unless the patient is going into the cath lab. Heck, even an ECG will already tell you if there’s a problem or not. Even with a...

Consistently, 1-year post-discharge mortality declined for STEMI: 13% vs. 5.9% (p<0.001) and with a non-significant increase for NSTEMI: 12.6% vs. 17.0% (p=0.377). Adjusting for the risk factors, an increase of one year was associated with a decline of in-hospital mortality for STEMI...
Primary balloon angioplasty remains a viable initial strategy for an ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) caused by a heavily calcified stenosis that cannot be dilated, as long as TIMI 3 flow is attainable. In certain clinical situations, RA and IVL can complement each other. When ...
In patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), tocilizumab reduced CRP levels by up to 50%. Further, it decreased troponin T values in patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and improved myocardial salvage after STEMI (ASSAIL-MI trial) [84]. ...
