Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) encompasses a range of conditions associated with sudden, reduced blood flow to the heart. This document details the pathophysiology of ACS, including the differences between STEMI, non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), and unstable angina. It emphasizes the importance of early identification and revascularization in patients with STEMI and outlines management protocols for complications such as cardiogenic shock and acute heart failure.
