Effective translation of reperfusion therapy to mortality reductions in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) remains both time-critical in its implementation and dependent on optimal antithrombotic therapy. Innumerable clinical studies have explored several antithrombin and antiplatelet therapies in the immediate management of STEMI. With the wide array of the therapies now…

Approximately five million people present to the emergency department (ED) each year with chest pain, and billions of dollars are spent on assessment and treatment. Many therapies are time-dependent, so rapid identification of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) - unstable angina (UA) and acute myocardial infarction (MI) - at high risk for adverse outcomes is essential. Missed or…

While acute coronary syndromes inclusive of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) have been described in patients with polycythemia vera (PCV), optimal pharmacologic and interventional management strategies in the setting of drastically elevated platelet counts remain unclear.1 To our knowledge this is the first reported case of STEMI with massive thrombus burden in a patient with PCV…

Current evidence-based therapies for ischemic heart disease include antithrombotic and antiplatelet medications that reduce the risk for ischemic outcomes such as myocardial infarction and stroke.1 Given their mechanism of action, bleeding is a risk with these agents, especially when combined with invasive procedures.2 In addition to overt bleeding, clinical trials of antithrombotic strategies…

The spectrum of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) encompasses a broad array of clinical characteristics and risk strata, ranging from unstable angina (UA) and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) to ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and sudden cardiac death (SCD). In this article, UA and NSTEMI will be considered together as non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary…
