ObjectiveA significant proportion (85%) of low-risk non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) patients do not receive objective confirmation of ischemia by stress echocardiography (SE), yet remain a healthcare burden due to lower long-term survival and overuse of medical services.

The patient was given aspirin, heparin, morphine, and ondansetron and and transferred to a PCI-capable facility for a diagnosis of "unstable angina" with dynamic ECG changes. Possible mechanisms of ventricular arrhythmias elicited by ischemia followed by reperfusion. Circulation Research , 56 (2), 184–194. Moffat, M.

Now you have ECG and troponin evidence of ischemia, AND ventricular dysrhythmia, which means this is NOT a stable ACS. It they are static, then they are not due to ischemia. This is better evidence for ischemia than any other data point. She has done quite a bit of research on the topic. Again, cath lab was not activated.

Takotsubo is a sudden event, not one with crescendo angina. 9 This dissociation between the degree of stenosis and the propensity to provoke an acute coronary syndrome helps to explain why myocardial infarction often occurs without being heralded by the demand-induced symptoms of angina that would result from a high-grade stenosis.

BackgroundAnomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery (AAOCA) is associated with an increased risk of myocardial ischemia and sudden cardiac death. The incidence of postoperative cardiac-type symptoms (angina, syncope or dyspnea) was higher in ALCA-R patients compared to ARCA-L patients.
