Secondary Prevention For Acute Coronary Syndrome In Rural South Australia: Are Drugs Best? What About The Rest?, Tracey Wachtel, Angela Kucia, Jennene Greenhill
Secondary Prevention For Acute Coronary Syndrome In Rural South Australia: Are Drugs Best? What About The Rest?, Tracey Wachtel, Angela Kucia, Jennene Greenhill
Angela Kucia
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Current Australian clinical guidelines recommend all patients with ACS receive comprehensive secondary prevention services to address this burden. Optimal patient outcomes rely on the timely and effective implementation of proven therapies and for secondary prevention to be successful, pharmcological interventions must be combined with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor identification and management. The ability to implement clinical guidelines is also reliant on available resources, yet many rural populations in Australia do not have access to structured secondary prevention services, and the level of support available to them …

The coronary slow flow phenomenon (CSFP) is a coronary microvascular disorder that typically presents as an acute coronary syndrome and is characterised by delayed vessel opification on angiography in the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease. This study compared the frequency of the ST segment (STs) and T wave (TW) change during continuous ST/T wave monitoring in healthy controls and patients with the CSFP.

ST segment (STs) and T wave (Tw) changes are markers of myocardial ischaemia. However, STs changes have been reported with changes in body position. The effect of body position on Tw changes is unknown and the objective of this study.
