Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a term used to encompass unstable angina (UA) and myocardial infarction (MI) with or without electrocardiographic (ECG) evidence of ST-segment elevation. Antiplatelet therapy has formed the backbone of ACS management for decades and the drug class continues to evolve as novel agents with increasingly efficacious antiplatelet actions are identified.

It is clear that a series of physiological and physiopathological mechanisms related to stress – before, during and… View more

Author(s): Mahesh Anantha Narayanan , Santiago Garcia Added: 3 years ago
Chest pain is one of the most common reasons for an emergency room (ER) visit in the US with almost 6 million ER visits annually.1 According to the fourth universal definition of MI, acute MI (AMI) requires a rise and/or fall in cardiac troponin (cTn) with at least one value above the 99th percentile upper reference limit.2,3 Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and cardiac troponin T (cTnT) are the… View more
