Occurrence of Severe Arrhythmias in Patients with Non-ST Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome (NSTE-ACS): A Retrospective Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) is one of the most frequent manifestations of coronary artery disease. The occurrence of serious heart rhythm disorders (SHRDs) in NSTE-ACS is not well documented. However, continuous heart rhythm monitoring is recommended during the initial management of NSTE-ACS. The targeted monitoring of patients at greater risk for SHRDs could facilitate patients' care in emergency departments (EDs) where the flow of patients is continuously increasing.
