ACS Guidelines |
ACS Guidelines were developed following a conference organized and sponsored by
the Canadian Heart Research Centre. No pharmaceutical company sponsorship or participation
was permitted. The Canadian Heart Research Centre has previously supported published
guidelines for the early management of NSTE-ACS in 2000 with a subsequent update
in 2002. The present document was developed using additional information from recent
trials, and focuses on measures aimed to prevent recurrent ACS and improving long-term
outcomes in patients presenting with NSTE-ACS. In addition, this document presents
a simplified algorithm and a structured order set to encourage more consistent care
that is in line with consensus conferences of the major North American and European
associations, societies and colleges of cardiology.
