e-discussion on Emerging trends in therapeutics of ACS

[Guest guest]

Dear Members,Acute

coronary syndrome (ACS), including both ST-elevation myocardial infarction

(STEMI) and non-ST elevation ACS (NSTE-ACS), is an important manifestation of IHD. Rapid diagnosis and treatment with

appropriate reperfusion therapies has been proven to increase survival for

patients with STEMI. This benefit of

reperfusion diminishes as the interval from time of symptom onset to initiation

of therapy increases.Current ACS guidelines

emphasize the importance of rapid hospital care, especially for STEMI patients

who may be eligible for thrombolytic reperfusion within the first twelve hours.RegardsTarun Wadhwa
