Complications of Acute Coronary Syndromes
Recurrent Ischemia
Any chest pain that remains or recurs 12 to 24 hours after myocardial infarction may represent recurrent ischemia. Post-MI ischemic pain indicates that more myocardium is at risk of infarction. Usually, recurrent ischemia can be identified by reversible ST-T changes on the ECG; blood pressure may be elevated. is usually effective. Coronary angiography and Revascularization for Acute Coronary Syndromes with percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass grafting should be considered to salvage ischemic myocardium.
