This trend is likely to continue based on recent therapeutic prog- ress which includes novel antiplatelet agents such as prasugrel, ticagrelor, and cangrelor.
📌 3 Key Takeaways
🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Unstable coronary artery plaque is the most com- mon underlying cause of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and can manifest as unstable angina, non-ST segment elevation infarction (NSTE-ACS), and ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), but can also manifest as sudden cardiac arrest due to isch- aemia induced tachyarrhythmias.
📊
Key Findings & Data:ACS mortality has decreased significantly over the last few years, especially from the more extreme manifestations of ACS, STEMI, and cardiac arrest.
💡
Conclusion & Impact:This trend is likely to continue based on recent therapeutic prog- ress which includes novel antiplatelet agents such as prasugrel, ticagrelor, and cangrelor.

Abstract
Unstable coronary artery plaque is the most com- mon underlying cause of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and can manifest as unstable angina, non-ST segment elevation infarction (NSTE-ACS), and ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), but can also manifest as sudden cardiac arrest due to isch- aemia induced tachyarrhythmias. ACS mortality has decreased significantly over the last few years, especially from the more extreme manifestations of ACS, STEMI, and cardiac arrest. This trend is likely to continue based on recent therapeutic prog- ress which includes novel antiplatelet agents such as prasugrel, ticagrelor, and cangrelor.
