High-sensitive Troponin, B-type natriuretic peptide and coronary angiogram findings in patients with non ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome.

摘要

In patients with either proven unstable angina (UA) or acute myocardial infarction (AMI), the location of the culprit lesion in the left descending anterior descending (LAD) is considered as a poor prognosticator [1,2]. The clinical decision if and when to proceed to coronary angiography could be helped by knowing already in the Emergency Department (ED) whether the LAD territory is involved in patients with UA or non ST-segment elevation AMI (NSTEM1).
