The year in non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes.

o a o d g i cute coronary syndromes (ACS) now account for approxmately 1.6 million hospitalizations as determined by priary and secondary discharge diagnoses (1). The majority f these are without ST-segment elevation (STE), i.e., on–ST-segment elevation-acute coronary syndrome nSTE-ACS). In this year’s report, we highlight scientific apers that were published or presented between May 2005 nd Ap...

Extent of ST-segment depression and cardiac events in non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes.

AIMS We sought to determine whether the extent of myocardial ischaemia on the admission electrocardiogram (ECG) has independent predictive value for short-term risk stratification of patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE ACS). Although the presence of ischaemic ECG changes on admission has been shown to predict outcome, the relationship between the extent of ECG ...
