Diagnóstico y tratamiento del síndrome coronario agudo: an update
Journal Title: Revista Eugenio Espejo - Year 2018, Vol 12, Issue 1
Abstract
Acute coronary syndrome is a group of nosological entities whose main characteristic is the decrease in arterial blood flow at the level of the myocardium. Taking into account the high morbidity and mortality and the great impact on health costs due to complications derived from it, timely diagnosis and treatment become priorities. That is why this review article aimed to document this pathology bibliographically and serve as an updating tool for the general practitioner and/or related clinical specialties who must be familiar with the different definitions, the diagnostic modality (methods invasive and non-invasive) and conservative / invasive treatment in order to significantly reduce the complications derived from a late or sub-diagnostic diagnosis. It can be achieved with adequate stratification of cardiovascular risk in patients with chest pain through the use of tools validated, simple to apply and that guide a safe therapeutic behavior, mainly in the Emergency Service of health houses. “Time is muscle”.
