AB Patients  with  acute  coronary  syndrome  (ACS)  are  commonly  classified  into  two  groups  to  facilitate  evaluation  and  management,  namely  patients  with  acute  myocardial  infarction  (MI)  with  ST-segment  elevation  (STEMI)  on  their  presenting  electrocardiogram  (ECG)  (Chap.  275)  and  those  with  non-ST-segment  elevation  acute  coronary  syndrome  (NSTE-ACS).  The  latter  include  patients  with  non-ST-segment  elevation  MI  (NSTEMI),  who,  by  definition,  have  evidence  of  myocyte  necrosis,  and  those  with  unstable  angina  (UA),  who  do  not  (Fig.  274-1).
