What is Acute Coronary Syndrome?

Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) refers to a range of conditions caused by sudden, reduced blood flow to the heart. It includes unstable angina, non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), and ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Prompt treatment is essential to restore blood flow and prevent heart damage.

The Main Causes of Acute Coronary Syndrome

ACS is typically caused by the rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque within the coronary arteries, leading to blood clot formation that blocks blood flow to the heart. Contributing factors include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, and family history of heart disease.
