i am confused about these two concepts. tried to figure it out by reading different books but still confused. can anyone pleaes elaborate this?
here is the spectrum :
1)stable angina...ischemia on exertion... ST depression
2)unstable angina... ischemia at rest... ST depression
3)NSTEMI...non transmural infarct...cardiac enzimes present... ST elevation without Q wave
4) STEMI...transmural infarct... cardiac enz present...ST elevation with Q wave
( STEMI was previously called Q wave MI)
any corrections welcome plz...
sry,
3)NSTEMI...non transmural infarct...cardiac enzimes present... no ST elevation, no Q wave
