    Coronary artery disease causes most cases of ischemic heart disease and involves narrowing of the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart. Chapter 49 discusses acute coronary syndromes (ACS), which include ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), and unstable angina. It covers the epidemiology, anatomy, pathophysiology, clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of ACS, including percutaneous coronary intervention, fibrinolytics, antiplatelet agents, and care for special populations.
