title: [Acute coronary syndrome. Clinical and therapeuthics patterns].
abstract: Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) are classified by the mechanisms of thrombosis that induce the complete of partial occlusion of coronary artery, with two tipes of ST changes in ECG. ACS with ST segment elevation (ACSSTE) is induced by a completed thrombotic occlusion by a red thrombus, it need a rapid and complete restoration of coronary artery blood flow with myocardial reperfusion in the first six hours after starting with pain. This is the mechanism by which reperfusion therapy reduces morbidity and mortality. In ACS with Non ST segment elevation (ACSNSTE) the occlusion mechanism it is a platelet trombosis with partial coronary occlusion. Treatment with antiagregant and anticoagulant drugs avoid complete coronary occlusion, and risk stratification for percutaneous treatment.
