Levine et al., 2016 ACC/AHA/SCAI Focused Update on Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Patients With ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction, is now replaced and retired by the present 2021 guideline.
In the ED, the initial ECG should be examined for signs of ischemia (see Figure 2), particularly for STEMI or a STEMI equivalent (see Table 1), as this identifies patients who should undergo immediate reperfusion therapy and be managed in accordance with the 2013 STEMI guideline. 12 Automated ECG algorithms provide an immediate interpretation ...
The ACC/AHA STEMI and NSTE-ACS guidelines categorize chest pain cause into 4 types: STEMI, NSTE-ACS, stable angina, and noncardiac. 6,7 The 12-lead ECG, which should be acquired and interpreted within 10 minutes of arrival to a medical facility 1-7,11 (Section 2.3.2, ECG), is pivotal in the evaluation because of its capacity to identify and ...

Appropriate treatment of the non-culprit disease in STEMI is complex. Coronary flow limitation as well as characterization of the putative plaque are likely to provide more insight into how best to manage these patients.
This Expert Consensus Decision Pathway by the American College of Cardiology provides structure around the evaluation of chest pain in the emergency department (ED) through formulating recommendations incorporating evidence, expert opinion, guidelines, and critical appraisal of clinical decision pathways (CDPs).
The ACC/AHA STEMI and NSTE-ACS guidelines categorize chest pain cause into 4 types: STEMI, NSTE-ACS, stable angina, and noncardiac (6,7). The 12-lead ECG, which should be acquired and interpreted within 10 minutes of arrival to a medical facility ( 1-7 , 11 ) ( Section 2.3.2 , ECG), is pivotal in the evaluation because of its capacity to ...
This document presents a clinical lexicon comprising data elements related to chest pain and acute myocardial infarction (MI), in the sense and context of how these terms are used in the recently released guideline: “2021 AHA/ACC/ASE/CHEST/SAEM/SCCT/SCMR Guideline for the Evaluation and Diagnosis of Chest Pain.”
