AB  - Patients  with  ischemic  heart  disease  fall  into  two  large  groups:  patients  with  chronic  coronary  artery  disease  (CAD)  who  most  commonly  present  with  stable  angina  (Chap.  293)  and  patients  with  acute  coronary  syndromes  (ACSs).  These  include  patients  with  acute  myocardial  infarction  with  ST-segment  elevation  (STEMI)  on  their  presenting  electrocardiogram  (Chap.  295)  and  those  with  non-ST-segment  elevation  acute  coronary  syndrome  (NSTE-ACS).  The  latter  include  patients  with  non-ST-segment  elevation  myocardial  infarction  (NSTEMI),  who,  by  definition,  have  evidence  of  myocyte  necrosis,  and  those  with  unstable  angina  (UA),  who  do  not.  The  relative  incidence  of  NSTEMI  compared  to  STEMI  appears  to  be  increasing  (Fig.  294-1).  Every  year  in  the  United  States,  approximately  1.1  million  patients  are  admitted  to  hospitals  with  NSTE-ACS  as  compared  with  ∼300,000  patients  with  acute  STEMI.  Women  comprise  more  than  one-third  of  patients  with  NSTE-ACS,  but  less  than  one-fourth  of  patients  with  STEMI.
