What is NSTEMI in medical term?!


Question: What is NSTEMI in medical term!?
Answers:
NSTEMI stands for Non ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction - ie!. a heart attack withtout the EKG change of ST-segment elevation, which generally requires less urgent intervention when compared with STEMI (heart attacks wtih ST-segment elevation)!. NSTEMI is understood to involve less than full-thickness damange of heart tissue!.

These days, clinicians are switching to the term NSTEACS (Non ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome) and the inverse term STEACS!. In the clinical practice, they lead to slightly different approaches today, but the principle is still the same!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
