PDF202310 pages216 KB
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a critical condition characterized by acute myocardial ischemia due to an imbalance between myocardial oxygen demand and supply. The chapter outlines the classification of ACS based on electrocardiographic changes, including STEMI and NSTEACS. It details the clinical presentation of patients, emphasizing the importance of recognizing atypical symptoms, especially in vulnerable populations. The diagnostic approach includes obtaining a 12-lead ECG and assessing cardiac biomarkers for risk stratification.
