The Year in Non-ST-Segment Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome
Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) account for approximately 1.6 million annual inpatient hospital discharges in the U.S. Approximately 80% of these are due to non-ST-segment elevations ACS (NSTE-ACS). In this year's review, we highlight publications and presentations between May 2006 and April 2007 in 6 areas: risk assessment, antithrombotic therapy, anti-ischemic therapy, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), lipid management, and selected patient subgroups.
