Acute Coronary Syndrome Series
Series Overview
This four-part series is intended to assist family physicians in the evaluation and management of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The spectrum of conditions spanned by the term ACS includes unstable angina, non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
Series Objectives
The series will review ACC/AHA clinical practice guidelines and other evidence-based recommendations. Application of these recommendations with carefully reasoned clinical judgment can help reduce the risk of cardiac damage and death in patients who present with ACS.

Activity 4: Case Studies in ACS
-- The fourth in a series addressing the challenges of assessing and managing acute coronary syndrome (ACS), this activity uses patient cases to review the fundamentals in ACS care discussed in the previous activities and to highlight specific management concerns.
