Acute coronary syndrome defininiton Chest pain is a major symptom of acute coronary disease or syndrome (ACS). ACS includes non stabile angina (NA), myocardial infarction (MI) without ST elevation (NSTEMI) and MI with ST elevation (STEMI). Erosion or rupture of unstable atherosclerotic plaque, and creation of thrombus formation The limitation of flow, oxygenation of myocardium and collateral circulation are major determinants of clinical signs.

Cardiosurgery - Skopje ECG Standard 12-lead ECG is the best test Additional leads V4R-V6R (inferior IM) for RV assessment. V7-V9 posterior leads Continious recording every 20 sec. New LBBB, ST depression  1 mm V1 - V3, ST elevation > od 2 mm suggest IM

Cardiosurgery - Skopje Laboratory markers Two folds increasing of CK after 6 h, peak 24 h. CK-MB sensitivity 90%, increase 6 h. Troponin I /T is more specific. Activity rise after 6 h, peak h, and high level in serum up to 7-10 days.

Cardiosurgery - Skopje Conclusion Time from begining of chest pain to reperfusion / D2B is a major factor in treatment of pts with ACS. Early diagnosis, urgent transport to PCI centar, early begining of fybrinolitic therapy and early differential diagnosis is essential in treatment of ACS pts and decreasing of mortality.
