Zusammenfassung
Das akute Koronarsyndrom ist in vielen Fällen die erste klinische Manifestation der zugrunde liegenden Atherosklerose und stellt häufig eine Notfallsituation dar. In kurzer Zeit müssen die Ursache und ggf. mögliche Differenzialdiagnosen erkannt und zügig gehandelt werden. Die richtige Interpretation von Anzeichen und Symptomen und die entsprechende Auswahl der diagnostischen Methode sind die Basis für die weitere Therapie.
Abstract
Acute coronary syndrome is one of the most important differential diagnostic considerations in emergency medicine. It describes the constellation of newly occurring clinical symptoms, often accompanied by typical 12-lead ECG changes and the release of cardiac troponins. The spectrum includes unstable angina pectoris, non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). It is important to consistently carry out the diagnostic steps that are crucial for further therapeutic procedures to avoid delaying life-saving invasive coronary diagnostics, without losing sight of the diverse, sometimes time-critical differential diagnoses. Anamnesis and clinical examination form the basis of the further procedure. Further developments of biomarker assays with personalized limit values, new imaging modalities with ever higher resolution and faster imaging methods as well as advances in automated ECG analysis with integration of all findings through artificial intelligence will continue to offer many optimization options in the future diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome.
