An 81-year-old woman with a history of hypertension, diabetes, heart disease and abdominal pain was admitted to the hospital for worsening abdominal pain. Her ECG showed signs of a previous heart attack. Cardiac enzyme levels were elevated, leading to a diagnosis of a non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). Angiography revealed blockages in her coronary arteries, which were treated with stent placement. NSTEMIs are less severe than ST elevation MIs and are usually caused by partial blockages that damage part of the heart muscle.
