| Summary: | The current management strategy of acute coronary syndromes aims at symptoms relief as well as at specifically antagonizing each of the different pathogenic components of myocardial ischemia, including the pro-thrombotic state, poor coronary flow and myocardial damage.
Different approaches are available, including revascularization procedures and pharmacological interventions. Various anti-anginal, anti-thrombotic and anti-coagulant drugs can be used according to individual features and needs, as well as secondary prevention measures based on statin use and ACE-inhibition. The appropriate use of available measures is crucial to reduce mortality and improve long-term prognosis in patients with acute coronary syndromes.
