e-discussion on Emerging trends in therapeutics of ACS

[Guest guest]

Dear Members,A

diagnosis of NSTEMI can be made when the ischemia is sufficiently severe to

cause myocardial damage that results in the release of a biomarker of

myocardial necrosis into the circulation (cardiac-specific troponins T or I, or

muscle and brain fraction of creatine kinase [CK-MB]).

The

patient is considered to have experienced UA if no such biomarker can be

detected in the bloodstream hours after the initial onset of ischemic chest pain. Unstable angina exhibits 1 or more of 3 principal presentations: (1) rest

angina (usually lasting >20 minutes), (2) new-onset (<2 months

previously) severe angina, and (3) a crescendo pattern of occurrence

(increasing in intensity, duration, frequency, or any combination of these

factors).Regards,Tarun Wadhwa
