🫀STEMI vs. NSTEMI 🫀

🫀STEMI vs. NSTEMI 🫀
The main difference here involves the ST segment of a cardiac rhythm strip.
-STEMI-
ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction indicates a COMPLETE vessel occlusion which has triggered an MI or heart attack.
-NSTEMI-
(also often referred to as a NON-STEMI) This indicates that there is likely a PARTIAL occlusion. We may also see ST depression or T wave inversion with this type of MI.
🫀For both, cardiac biomarkers and troponin levels will be increased, patients may experience chest pain or pressure, jaw discomfort, upper epigastric pain, nausea, vomiting, or left arm tingling/numbness.
⭐It is important to note that BOTH require immediate action and cardiac protocol, possibly including cardiac catheterization or surgical intervention.

A message from Kristine, founder of NurseInTheMaking📣
My name is Kristine and I survived nursing school…and you can too!
Nurse In The Making was inspired during my time in nursing school. I immediately struggled and decided to create my own study guides. These guides have helped me personally as well as many others make nursing school just a little more manageable.I hope you find comfort knowing that everyone struggles at times. Nursing school is emotionally and physically draining. I hope these informative, clean, and simple guides help you navigate through all the information because there is A LOT of it in nursing school.
Happy Studying Future Nurses. Don't forget to enjoy the journey!

So would Unstable Angina be considered an NSTEMI?

[@NurseInTheMaking]

Thanks for your question! Unstable angina is not considered to be an NSTEMI. While cardiac changes may be noted on an ECG, cardiac markers are not altered as seen in NSTEMIs. Also, there may be plaque buildup in arteries with unstable angina, but there are not generally any occlusions as seen with NSTEMIs and STEMIs. Often unstable angina is a warning sign of an impending MI so must be treated as an emergency.
