Most frequent manifestation of acute coronary syndrome – Cardiology MCQ

Most frequent manifestation of acute coronary syndrome:
a) ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI)
b) Effort angina
c) Non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS)
d) None of the above
Correct answer: c) Non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS)
Non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) can be further subdivided into non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and unstable angina, depending on whether biomarkers of myocardial necrosis are elevated or not. The prognosis is poorer if biomarkers are elevated, indicating need for early invasive strategy in management.
