The Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) pocketcard Set is now updated with the latest and most important information. It contains essential material which is critical to the management of ACS and associated conditions.

Specific topics include:

• Algorithm for the management of ACS including ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), and unstable angina (UA)
• Fibrinolysis checklist
• Troponin level predicted mortality and cardiac enzyme kinetics
• Principal presentation of unstable angina, Braunwald classification, and grading of angina pectoris according to CCS classification
• Important prognostic information including the TIMI score, GRACE ACS 6-month mortality prediction score, and troponin level predicted mortality
• Likelihood that signs and symptoms represent an ACS secondary to CAD
• UA/NSTEMI: short-term risk of death or nonfatal MI
• The presentation and management of serious myocardial infarction complications
• Drug dosing information for antiplatelet, anticoagulant, adjunctive, and fibrinolytic therapy
