Navigating Acute Coronary Syndrome Assessments

This chapter centers on acute coronary syndrome (ACS), presenting a case study of a 67-year-old woman with significant cardiovascular risks and chest pressure. The discussion focuses on the implications of previously normal cardiac CT results, the critical need for continuous monitoring, and the utilization of troponin levels in diagnosing ACS. It emphasizes the necessity of risk stratification and strategic management in patients, especially in settings lacking immediate access to interventional procedures.
