Inclusion & Exclusion Criteria
- Seen in any of the participating sites.
- Acute coronary syndromes is defined as the presence of at least 2 of the following:
o Clinical Presentation:
Typical anginal pain at rest lasting more than 20 minutes, or
New-onset angina of at least CCS grade III severity, or
Previously diagnosed angina that has become more frequent, longer in duration or more easily provoked, or
Acute decompensated heart failure in a patient with known ischemic heart disease.
o Electrocardiography
ST segment depression by more than 0.05mV in 2 or more contiguous leads.
Marked symmetrical T-wave inversion by more than 0.2mV in the precordial leads.
New bundle branch block
Sustained ventricular tachycardia
o Cardiac enzymes:
Typical pattern of elevation of conventional cardiac enzymes including creatine kinase (CK), aspartate transaminase (AST) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH).
Elevated Troponin T or I
Elevated isoenzyme CK-MB
