Types of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) - Answer ST-elevation ACS: acute chest pain and persistent (>20 mins) ST-segment elevation. Most develop ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Non-ST-elevation ACS: acute chest pain without persistent ST-segment elevation. - unstable angina: normal troponin levels as no necrosis (although occasionally there can be minor rises in troponin signifying increased risk of subsequent cardiac events). - non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI...
