It manifests as angina, silent ischaemia, unstable angina, myocardial infarction, arrhythmias, heart failure, and sudden death.

      Pathophysiology Acute myocardial infarction is divided into STEMI and NSTEMI.5 Unstable angina is also considered an acute coronary syndrome (ACS), because it is an imminent precursor to myocardial infarction. Unstable angina has a similar pathophysiology to NSTEMI, and they are together referred to as non-ST-segment elevation ACS (NSTE-ACS).
