Abstract Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a syndrome due to decreased blood flow in the coronary arteries such that part of the heart muscle is unable to function properly or dies. ACS includes unstable angina pectoris (UAP), ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI), and non-ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). Acute coronary syndrome begins when a disrupted atherosclerotic plaque in a coronary artery stimulates platelet aggregation and thrombus formation occluding the vessel that prevents myocardial perfusion. |
