The difference between a STEMI and an NSTEMI (or non-STEMI), is exactly that: a STEMI is an ST-elevation myocardial infarction, and a non-STEMI is a non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction. NSTEACS is a non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome, which includes non-STEMI as well as unstable angina. Learn more at https://www.ausmed.com/cpd/courses/cardiac-deterioration | Ausmed

🧠📚Let’s take a deep dive into Myocardial Infarction - STEMI vs. NSTEMI 🫀STEMI (ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction) -COMPLETE blockage of one of the coronary arteries providing blood flow to the heart -STEMIs are diagnosed when the ST segment rises higher than normal 🫀NSTEMI (Non- ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction) -PARTIAL blockage of one of the coronary arteries providing blood flow to the heart -*NSTEMI think NOT a complete block -You may see ST depression or T wave inversion (keep in min

In patients with STEMI and multivessel disease, PCI for nonculprit lesions is superior to culprit lesion treatment alone. Whether an FFR-guided approach results in better clinical outcomes than an angiography-guided approach for complete revascularization is unclear. https://nej.md/36PxyKc | The New England Journal of Medicine
