Approach to STEMI and NSTEMI.
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) refers to any constellation of clinical symptoms that are compatible with acute myocardial ischemia. ACS is divided into ST- elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI), non-ST elevated myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), and unstable angina (UA). STEMI results from complete and prolonged occlusion of an epicardial coronary blood vessel and is defined based on ECG criteria....
متن کاملSTEMI and NSTEMI: the dangerous brothers.
With the creation of the NSTEMI as a new clinical entity, the need for data regarding prognosis and treatment options arose. By definition, STEMI and NSTEMI are only different with respect to the reflection of acute myocardial ischaemia and necrosis in the ECG. Although this difference may be triggered by the size of the infarcted area, it may also be only the location of the infarct—an occlude...
متن کاملSTEMI and NSTEMI are two distinct pathophysiological entities.
Montalescot et al. recently demonstrated that patients with STEMI and NSTEMI have similar in-hospital and long-term prognoses as well as similar independent correlates of outcome, despite very different in-hospital management. As per accepted guidelines, whereas most STEMI patients underwent emergent reperfusion treatment (e.g. primary PCI or thrombolysis), NSTEMI patients hardly ever received ...
متن کاملSTEMI or non-STEMI: that is the question
Acute coronary syndromes are usually classified on the basis of the presence or absence of ST elevation on the ECG: ST-elevation myocardial infarction or non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI)patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) need immediate therapy, without unnecessary delay and primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) should preferably be performed within 90 min...
متن کاملNo STEMI left behind.
T sheer size and complexity of acute coronary syndrome care within the globe’s largest democratic country, comprising 1/6 of the world population, constitutes an issue of such enormous scope that it is challenging to find an appropriate beginning or ending. Moreover i f current trends persist without correction, this monumental challenge promises to extract a huge economic burden from both the ...
