Initial visit of a 65-year-old African-American woman with chest pain at rest
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) describes a spectrum of clinical symptoms causing acute myocardial ischemia ranging from unstable angina (UA) to non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Risks for developing ACS include lifestyle factors as well as complicating co-morbidities that the primary care physician may not recognize, leading to delayed cardiology referral.

Upon completion of this interactive case, participants should be able to identify and adhere to the diagnostic criteria established by the ACC/AHA guidelines for treating ACS patients with and without comorbidity; discuss the need to ascertain the ACS patient's risk profile for developing serious complications due to atherothrombosis; compare the benefits and risks of current and emerging treatment options for ACS patients. » Go to this activity
