· What are ACS, [2]
o Acute coronary syndromes consist of NSTEMI, STEMI, unstable angina …. Which occur due to permanent or transient thrombotic occlusion of a coronary artery, typically due to a thrombus which impedes blood flow which disrupts blood flow resulting in ischemia or infarction of the myocardium, due to hypoxia of the myocardial cells and the Acute myocardial injury arises due to a mismatch between oxygen supply and demand
· stat on frequency of 000 calls – in 218 there were approximately 161 ACS events every day, with around 13% (7,700 cases) being fatal (AIHW, 2021)
· This report intends to highlight the importance of pharmaceutical interventions in the treatment of ACS in an out-of-hospital setting. This report highlights the importance of medication use in an out-of-hospital setting for the. Management of ACS to improve patient outcomes.
o [1] AIHW reports that between 2001 and 2018 rates of ACS have declined by approximately 55%, with the decline in rates being attributed to medical interventions
Outcomes improved by rapid and acute diagnosis and early intervention, timely coronary reperfusion to reduce the size of the infarcted area.
