急性冠脉综合征 (acute coronary syndrome, ACS) 是指一系列急性心肌缺血和/或梗死。根据初始 ECG 上是否存在 ST 段抬高,以及对心肌生物标志物(例如肌钙蛋白或肌酸激酶)的测定,一般可将 ACS 分为 3 个临床类别。[1]Thygesen K, Alpert JS, Jaffe AS, et al. Fourth universal definition of myocardial infarction (2018). Eur Heart J. 2019 Jan 14;40(3):237-269.

在 ST 段抬高型心肌梗死(ST-elevation myocardial infarction, STEMI)中,ECG 表现为两个或多个解剖上相邻的导联中 ST 段持续抬高。不稳定型心绞痛和非 ST 段抬高型心肌梗死(non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction, NSTEMI)体现了一种连续的病理学改变,其主要不同在于 NSTEMI 患者存在心肌损伤标志物。[2]Amsterdam EA, Wenger NK, Brindis RG, et al. 2014 AHA/ACC guideline for the management of patients with non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes: a report of the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Task Force on Practice Guidelines.

因此,一些指南将不稳定型心绞痛和 NSTEMI 归类为 ”非 ST 段抬高型急性冠脉综合征"。[2]Amsterdam EA, Wenger NK, Brindis RG, et al. 2014 AHA/ACC guideline for the management of patients with non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes: a report of the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Task Force on Practice Guidelines.
