Ustabil angina og akutt hjerteinfarkt uten ST-elevasjon skyldes økende inflammasjon i tidligere stabile plakk i koronarkarene
Det er viktig å utelukke ikke-kardiale livstruende årsaker til akutte brystsmerter ved innkomst i sykehus
Det er god dokumentasjon på at sykehusene bør gi høyere prioritet for denne pasientgruppen og gi rask medikamentell og revaskulariserende behandling
