Studies show that 30% of NonSTEMI have an occluded infarct artery at the time of angiography done 24 hours after presentation. These patients have worse outcomes: higher mortality, more CHF, higher biomarkers, and worse ejection fractions than the NonSTEMI patients with open arteries. This is because of subtle ECG findings.

Background Since 2000, the definition of myocardial infarction (MI) has evolved with reliance on cardiac troponin (cTn) tests. Linked biomarker results were classified as ‘diagnostic’ for MI according to established criteria. Results There were 37 272 ACS admissions in 30 683 patients (64.2%

It could also, given a different clinical context be compatible with a subacute myocardial infarction complicated by post infarct regional pericarditis. The only other processes identified that caused this type of postinfarction T wave evolution were cardiopulmonary resuscitation, reinfarction, and very small infarcts.
