3 days ago · Approximately 30% of patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) have ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (MI), and the remainder unstable angina or non--ST-segment elevation (NSTE) MI.
2 days ago · This review highlights the advances in our understanding of ACS: its pathophysiology, clinical diagnosis, risk stratification, and therapeutics. There is a particular focus on the subgroup of unstable angina (UA) and non-STsegment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI).
1 day ago · Types of angina. The 2 main types of angina are stable angina and unstable angina. Stable angina is more common. Attacks are more likely to have a trigger (like physical activity or stress). Symptoms of stable angina usually only last for a few minutes after exercise or stress.

Also, look for signs of heart failure, like fluid in the lungs or legs. Treatment: Aspirin, nitroglycerin, oxygen, pain medications, IV access, 12-lead EKG, cardiac monitoring, rapid transport to the ...
1 day ago · Acute coronary heart disease (CHD) is mainly caused by the rupture of an unstable atherosclerotic plaque. Many different factors can cause stenosis or even occlusion of the coronary artery lumen, such as vasculitis and platelet aggregation. Our study was performed to assess the association between PON1 rs662, rs854560 and TRIB1 rs17321515, rs2954029 polymorphisms and the risk of CHD, as well ...
2 days ago · OVERVIEW. A modified rapid sequence intubation (RSI) approach is usually preferred in shocked patients, including: use of low dose, titrated induction agents to avoid haemodynamic compromise. avoidance of apnoea (e.g. via spontaneous breathing or supported ventilation) to avoid exacerbation of coexistent acidaemia.
1 day ago · PCI is the most common means of coronary revascularisation in patients with ACS, with over 90,000 procedures undertaken in the UK annually. Even though PCI is a common procedure and generally carries low risk of adverse events, the risk of death within one month of the procedure is reported to range between 7% and 10%, with the main causes of death being cardiogenic shock, cerebral anoxia ...
