Abstract:
Acute myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation is a common and dramatic manifestation of coronary artery disease. It is caused by the rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque in a coronary artery, leading to its total thrombotic occlusion and resultant ischaemia and necrosis of downstream myocardium. The diagnosis of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction is based on a syndrome of ischaemic chest pain symptoms, associated with typical ST-segment elevation on the electrocardiogram and an eventual rise in biomarkers of myocardial necrosis.

Non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes are life-threatening disorders, usually caused by acute coronary thrombosis and subsequent myocardial ischaemia, presenting without persistent ST-segment elevation in the initial electrocardiogram. According to the occurrence of myocardial necrosis, non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes are divided into non-ST-segment myocardial infarction or unstable angina.

Abstract:
ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is generally caused by a ruptured plaque that triggers local thrombus formation, which occludes the coronary artery. STEMI should be diagnosed rapidly, based on the combination of ST-segment elevation and symptoms of acute myocardial infarction. The main treatment objective is myocardial tissue reperfusion as quickly as possible. The preferred method of reperfusion is primary percutaneous coronary interventionif transport time is below 2 hours, and thrombolysis if longer STEMI patients with acute onset cardiogenic shock should be evaluated by echocard

Abstract:
Acute coronary syndromes are classified as ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), non-STEMI (NSTEMI) or unstable angina. Most patients with NSTEMI present with a history of chest pain that has subsided spontaneously before or soon after arrival at the emergency room, but with positive cardiac markers (usually troponin T or I) indicative of myocardial infarction. NSTEMI has a risk of recurrent myocardial infarction of 15–20% and a 15% chance of 1-year mortality. Patients with non-STE-acute coronary syndromes are at similar risk as a STEMI patient at 1 year.

Echocardiography with its multiple modalities plays a central role in the evaluation of patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease, starting from the differential diagnosis of the patient presenting with acute chest pain. In the patient presenting with acute myocardial infarction (raised troponins) whether it is with ST-segment elevation or without, echocardiography is the first imaging modality used in order to ascertain the presence and extent of LV dysfunction and the presence of complications. In the absence of myocardial infarction (negative troponins), echocardiography will

Abstract:
The central role of thrombin in the process of clot formation makes it an important therapeutic target. Heparin is a potent anticoagulant, but has a number of limitations, in that—for example—it does not bind clot-bound thrombin, activates platelets, and may determine heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT). Bivalirudin and argatroban, which belong to the class of intravenous direct thrombin inhibitors, overcome many of the limitations of heparin. Bivalirudin is currently indicated for patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention, patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary
