From Triage to Treatment Management of ACS in the EDThe purpose of this continuing medical education activity is to educate emergency physicians on the pathophysiology of acute coronary syndromes (ACS), from unstable angina to NSTEMI to STEMI, and to establish interference with thrombosis as an important approach to acute management. Physicians will review diagnostic approaches to ACS and risk stratification in order to demonstrate the relationship of the disease state to patient outcomes. The mechanisms of action of various drugs that interfere with thrombosis will be discussed, relating management options to clinical trial data. Approaches to acute patient management will be presented in the context of clinical trial data, management options, and clinical outcomes. The following lectures were recorded during a CME breakfast event which was held in conjunction with the ACEP Scientific Assembly. This adjunct symposium was not part of the official Scientific Assembly educational program as planned by ACEP’s Educational Meetings Committee.
