Recommendations CORONARY SYNDROME (ACS) . 2 are based on ACS-probability categories and capabilities of individual facilities.

In 2018, it was expected that nearly 720,000 Americans would experience their first myocardial infarction (MI) or die from coronary heart disease. BEN • Cost . Between 2012 and 2014, more than $361 billion in direct and PROGRAM GOALS & indirect costs (14 % of total health expenditures) were attributed MEASUREMENTS to coronary vascular disease and stroke.

OR Rarely, hyperacute T-waves (in very early phase of STEMI, before ST elevation develops) Note: Multilead ST depression combined with ST elevation in lead aVR has been noted in left main or proximal left anterior descending (LAD) artery occlusion. (c) HEART Risk Score for NSTEMI / UAPFRI This score predicts the short-term risk of subsequent mortality, new / recurrent MI, or severe ischemia for patients with NSTEMI or unstable angina pectoris (UAP). A higher score may warrant a higher ACS probability and more aggressive treatment. Diagnosis of STEMI is primarily based on ECG findings, and rapid reperfusion is the goal for all STEMI patients, regardless of estimated mortality . HEART Score How to score: composition Highly suspicious 2 Scores 0 – 3: 0.9 – 1.7 % MACE over next 6 weeks Low Risk History Moderately suspicious 1 Scores 4 – 6: 12 – 16.6 % MACE over next 6 weeks Moderate Risk Slightly suspicious 0 Scores ≥ 7: 50 – 65 % MACE over next 6 weeks High Risk Significant ST depression 2 ECG Nonspecific polarization disturbance 1 Notes: Normal 0 • Critical actions: Do not use this classification if new ST elevation requiring immediate intervention or clinically unstable patient. ≥ 65 years 2 • MACE is defined as all-cause mortality, MI, or coronary Age 45 – 64 1 revascularization. ≤ 44 0 • Risk factors: Diabetes mellitus (DM), current or recent (< 1 month) smoker, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, family history of coronary artery ≥ 3 risk factors or history of atherosclerotic disease 2 disease (CAD), and obesity.
