Non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome. Peculiarities of pre-hospital diagnostics
The review article describes the existing approaches to the early diagnosis of non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome based on the numerous clinical studies of national and foreign authors, as well as on the basis of the current clinical guidelines. We identified the main limitations of the use of standard diagnostic methods and the difficulties which arise for practicing cardiologists in assessing the individual risk of poor prognosis development for this disease. The role of the specialized admission departments for the early risk-stratification of patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome is specified.
