A 50-year-old man presents with ACS, with 2 mm of ST elevation on the leads II, III, and a VF to the ICU. The troponins are positive. The blood pressure is 130/70 mmHg on a nitroglycerin drip at 5 μg/kg/min, keeping the patient's chest pain-free, but ECG changes persist, and only a 1 mm of ST elevation is seen. There is no lower extremity edema.
The patient was given ASA upon entry into the ED. What are the best steps for managing this patient's condition? NOTE: No other information about the patient is available.
