DEFINITION
Acute coronary syndrome is a term used for any condition brought on by sudden, reduced blood flow to the heart. Acute coronary syndrome symptoms may include the type of chest pressure that you feel during a heart attack, or pressure in your chest while you're at rest or doing light physical activity (unstable angina). The first sign of acute coronary syndrome can be sudden stopping of your heart (cardiac arrest). Acute coronary syndrome is often diagnosed in an emergency room or hospital.
Acute coronary syndrome is treatable if diagnosed quickly. Acute coronary syndrome treatments vary, depending on your signs, symptoms and overall health condition.
Types
1
ANGINA
Angina is a type of chest discomfort caused by poor blood flow through the blood vessels (coronary vessels) of the heart muscle (myocardium).
2
Unstable angina
is chest pain or discomfort from lack of blood flow, but there is no damage to the heart muscle. It often happens at rest. Unstable angina is not a heart attack.
3
Heart attack
Heart attack is different from angina. A means a coronary artery has been blocked and the heart has been damaged. Without blood flow and oxygen, part of the heart starts to die.
4
Hypotension
hypotension is low blood pressure, especially in the arteries of the systemic circulation.
Hypotension is the opposite of hypertension, which is high blood pressure. It is best understood as a physiological state, rather than a disease. It is often associated with shock.
5
Ischemia
is a restriction in blood supply to tissues, causing a shortage of oxygen and glucose needed for cellular metabolism (to keep tissue alive). Ischemia is generally caused by problems with blood vessels, which resultants in damage to or dysfunction
