Scott Y1 - 2020 N1 - T2 - McGraw Hill’s NAPLEX® Review Guide, 4e AB - Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a spectrum of coronary artery disease (CAD) with similar pathophysiology involving a myocardial oxygen and supply–demand mismatch, secondary to atherosclerosis of the coronary arterial system. During ACS, atherosclerotic plaque may become unstable and lead to the development of a thrombus. Depending on the degree of coronary artery stenosis from the thrombus, the patient may experience ischemia and/or infarction of the neighboring tissue supplied by the stenotic coronary artery or arteries.
