AB Acute  coronary  syndrome  (ACS)  refers  to  a  group  of  disorders  in  which  myocardial  injury  is  suspected.  The  conditions  described  by  the  term  ACS  exist  along  a  spectrum  of  severity  and  include  ST  elevation  myocardial  infarction  (STEMI),  non-ST  elevation  MI  (NSTEMI),  and  unstable  angina  (UA).  The  most  common  etiology  of  ACS  in  the  nonsurgical  setting  is  atherosclerotic  plaque  rupture  on  the  wall  of  a  coronary  artery,  causing  partial  or  complete  obstruction  of  the  artery.
