NSTEMIs are a type of acute coronary syndrome and are defined by the presence of myocardial infarction as detected by a rise in cardiac biomarkers, without ECG changes indicative of a STEMI. Acute coronary syndrome is caused by a mismatch between myocardialoxygen demand and myocardial oxygen delivery. NSTEMIs are a type of acute coronary syndrome and are defined by the presence of myocardial infarction as detected by a rise in cardiac biomarkers, without ECG changes indicative of a STEMI. Acute coronary syndrome is caused by a mismatch between myocardialoxygen demand and myocardial oxygen delivery. NSTEMIs typically present like other acute coronary syndromes with chest pain or tightness, shortness of breath, nausea, and diaphoresis. 12-lead ECG and serum troponins are important initial investigation for the diagnosis of NSTEMI. NSTEMIs are characterised by the absence of STEMI defining ECG changes.
