Acute Coronary Syndromes: A Comprehensive Emergency Management Guideline
Evidence-based guideline for evaluation, risk stratification, and management of STEMI, NSTEMI, and unstable angina in the emergency department.
acute-coronary-syndromes
Acute Coronary Syndromes — Part 5: Post-ACS Care, Secondary Prevention & Quality Metrics
Long-term antiplatelet therapy and DAPT duration, statin therapy, ACE inhibitor/ARB, beta-blocker, aldosterone antagonists, cardiac rehabilitation, lifestyle modification, and quality metrics.
Acute Coronary Syndromes — Part 4: NSTEMI/UA Management, Special Populations & Disposition
Early invasive vs conservative strategy, timing of angiography, antiplatelet and anticoagulation for NSTEMI, special populations (women, elderly, diabetes, CKD, cocaine), arrhythmias, and chest pain disposition.
Acute Coronary Syndromes — Part 3: STEMI Management — Reperfusion, Pharmacotherapy & Complications
Systems of care, primary PCI, fibrinolytic therapy with dosing, pharmacoinvasive strategy, dual antiplatelet therapy, anticoagulation, adjunctive therapy, cardiogenic shock, and mechanical complications.
Acute Coronary Syndromes — Part 2: Cardiac Biomarkers & Risk Stratification
Troponin biology, high-sensitivity troponin algorithms (0/1h and 0/3h), HEART score, TIMI risk scores, GRACE score, HEART Pathway, and chest pain observation pathways.
Acute Coronary Syndromes — Part 1: Definitions, Pathophysiology & Initial Evaluation
ACS spectrum definitions, Fourth Universal Definition of MI (Types 1-5), pathophysiology, initial ED evaluation, 12-lead ECG interpretation, STEMI criteria by territory, STEMI equivalents, and right ventricular MI.
