Summary
One of the most powerful manifestations of atherosclerosis is acute
coronary syndrome. Acute coronary
syndrome (ACS) is an endpoint of atherosclerosis, which results in
limited blood flow to the heart muscle
resulting in symptoms (chest pain) and or hemodynamic decompensation.
ACS requires early
recognition and aggressive intervention. A combination of surgical
interventions and pharmacologic
therapy is used to reopen obstructed coronary vessels and decrease
morbidity and mortality related to
ACS.
Objectives
Identify at risk patients for acute coronary syndrome
Review epidemiology of acute coronary syndrome
Recognize treatment strategies for improved outcomes
