Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) is related to the group of symptoms consistent with myocardial ischemia. Partial or total occlusive coronary artery lead to Myocardial Infraction (MI). MI is associated with a range from unstable angina to acute myocardial infractions. This quiz will help you to revise and regain knowledge about ACS. ACS is clinically considered as STEMI, NSTEMI, and Unstable angina. It causes heart attack which results in a cardiac emergency.
ACS is diagnosed based on patterns seen in Electrocardiography (ECG). The ECG presenting ST elevation is known as ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI). NSTEMI known as T wave inversion or normal ECG is known as Unstable angina. Unstable angina with the addition of cardiac enzymes is termed as Non-ST Segment Elevation Myocardial (NSTEMI). ECG can also show an elevation in ST depression or normal pattern. Infarction angina shows T…
