Management of acute coronary syndromes in patients presenting without persistent ST-segment elevation.

New ESC guidelines for the management of acute coronary syndromes in patients presenting without persistent ST-segment elevation.

This review highlights an important novel aspect of the 2011 ESC guidelines for the management of acute coronary syndromes in patients presenting without persistent ST-segment elevation: the recommendations of a rapid rule-out protocol (0h and 3h) when high-sensitive cardiac troponin assays are available. The controversy relates to the scientific question how reliably patients can recall the on...

2015 ESC guidelines for the management of acute coronary syndromes in patients presenting without persistent ST-segment elevation: comments from the Dutch ACS working group

In 2015 the European Society of Cardiology published a new version of the guidelines for the management of acute coronary syndromes without persistent ST-segment elevation. The current communication addresses some of the most important updates: introduction of the 1-hour diagnostic algorithm with high-sensitivity troponin assays, specified time lines for the invasive strategy, new recommendatio...

The management of acute coronary syndromes in patients presenting without persistent ST-segment elevation: early invasive strategy for all?

It is unquestionable that early invasive reperfusion therapy in the setting of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has significantly reduced infarct-related mortality and morbidity [1]. Scientific and social dissemination campaigns have created a certain awareness both in the public domain and among physicians with slogans such as ‘the sooner the better’ and ‘time is muscle’, whe...

[2002 Update of the Guidelines of the Spanish Society of Cardiology for Unstable Angina/Without ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction].

Since the Spanish Society of Cardiology Clinical Practice Guidelines on Unstable Angina/Non-Q-Wave Myocardial Infarction were released in 1999, the conclusions of several studies that have been published make it advisable to update current clinical recommendations. The main findings are related to the developing role of Chest Pain Units in the management and early risk stratification of acute c...
