Acute coronary syndrome: in-hospital risk categories and treatment elements
THE CONTEXT
The target contains fragments of an acute coronary syndrome treatment flowchart. The mortality categories and several treatment elements are readable, but the decision branches are incomplete.
Predicted in-hospital mortality
•
Low risk corresponds to mortality below 1%, medium risk to 1%–9%, and high risk to more than 9%.
Readable treatment elements
•
The flowchart includes early in-hospital coronary angiography and consideration of an intravenous GP IIb/IIIa receptor antagonist.
•
The maintenance medication list includes aspirin, a P2Y12 receptor antagonist, fondaparinux or low-molecular-weight heparin, a statin and ACE inhibitor therapy.
•
The primary percutaneous coronary intervention feasibility question uses a time interval of 120 minutes. The incomplete branches do not establish the full treatment sequence.
