• First chest pain
• Risk factor: smoking
4. Physical examination
• He was fully alert
• BP = 120/80 mmHg
• HR = 88 x/min,
• RR = 20 x/minute
• Normal JVP
• Cardiac, lung, and abdominal examination was
unremarkable
13. Very high-risk criteria
Haemodynamic instability or cardiogenic shock
Recurrent or ongoing chest pain refractory to medical treatment
Life-threatening arrhythmias or cardiac arrest
Mechanical complications of MI
Acute heart failure
Recurrent dynamic ST-T wave changes, particularly with intermittent ST-elevation
High-risk criteria
Ride or fall in cardiac troponin compatible with MI
Dynamic ST- or T-wave changes (symptomatic or silent
GRACE score ≥140
Intermediate-risk criteria
Diabetes mellitus
Renal insufficiency (eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2)
LVEF < 40% or congestive heart failure
Early post-infaction angina
Prior PCI
Prior CABG
GRACE score >109 and <140
Low-risk criteria
Any characteristics not mentioned above
15. Discussion
• What is the treatment strategy?
a. Immediate invasive
b. Early invasive
c. Invasive
d. Non-Invasive
16. DAPT for initial treatment
a. Clopidogrel 600 mg + aspirin 320 mg
b. Ticagrelor 180 mg + aspirin 320 mg
c. Clopidogrel 300 mg + aspirin 320 mg
d. Clopidogrel 300 mg + cilostazol
17. What’s ESC Guidelines NSTEACS 2015 say on
P2Y12 inhibitor ?
A P2Y12 inhibitor is recommended, in addition to aspirin, for 12 months unless
there are contraindications such as excessive risk of bleeds.
Ticagrelor is recommended, in the absence of contraindications,for all
patients at moderate-to-high risk of ischaemic events (e.g. elevated
cardiac troponins), regardless of initial treatment strategy and
including those pretreated with clopidogrel (which should be
discontinued when ticagrelor is started).
Prasugrel is recommended in patients who are proceeding to PCI if no
contraindication).
Clopidogrel is recommended for patients who cannot receive
ticagrelor or prasugrel or who require oral anticoagulation.
