Nomenclature of ACS
The spectrum of clinically manifest Coronary Artery Diseasefrom UA to AMI is referred to as ACS.

Criteria for Acute Myocardial InfarctionLaboratory evidence of myocardial necrosis with clinical myocardial ischemia.
Any one of the following criteria meets the diagnosis for myocardial infarction:
• Detection of rise and/or fall of biomarkers (preferably troponin) with at least one value above the 99th percentile of the upper reference limit (URL) together with myocardial ischemia with at least one of the following:
• Symptoms of ischemia;• New ischemic ST-T changes or new LBBB;• New pathological Q waves;• New loss of viable myocardium or regional wall motion abnormality by imaging techniques.
• Sudden unexpected death from cardiac arrest.
• For PCI patients, new elevations of biomarkers greater than 3x 99th percentile URL. A subtype related to stent thrombosis is recognized.
• For CABG patients, new elevations of biomarkers greater than 5x 99th percentile URL plus new pathological Q waves or new LBBB, or angiographically documented new graft or native coronary artery occlusion, or imaging of new loss of viable myocardium.

Types of Myocardial Infarction
Type 1: Spontaneous myocardial infarction related to ischemia due to a primary coronary event such as plaque erosion and/or rupture, fissuring, or dissection
Type 2: Myocardial infarction secondary to ischemia due to either increased oxygen demand or decreased supply, e.g. coronary artery spasm, coronary embolism, anemia, arrhythmias, hypertension, or hypotension
Type 3: Sudden unexpected cardiac death, including cardiac arrest, often with symptoms of myocardial ischemia, but death occurring before blood samples could be obtained or before the appearance of cardiac biomarkers in the blood
Type 4a: Myocardial infarction associated with PCI
Type 4b: Myocardial infarction associated with stent thrombosis as documented by angiography or at autopsy
Type 5: Myocardial infarction associated with CABG

“Ischemic” Symptoms
• Not all chest pain is cardiac• Not all cardiac pain is coronary insufficiency• Not all coronary insufficiency is atherosclerosis• Not all coronary occlusion is thrombosis• Not all ACS requires immediate coronary
angiography / reperfusion• 10-15% of myocardial infarctions are
asymptomatic
