Abstract

Despite medical and invasive advancements, cardiovascular mortality attributable to ischemic heart disease, including acute coronary syndrome (ACS), persists at a substantial level. Clinical guidelines have been issued by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association to support clinicians in making appropriate decisions and improving the prognosis of ACS patients. ESC recently introduced a new ACS guideline in August 2023. This review discusses the recent modification in the diagnosis and management of early-phase ACS in the 2023 ESC guideline.
