< Practice Enhancement Programs / ACS Guidelines

ACS Guidelines were developed following a conference organized and sponsored by the Canadian Heart Research Centre. No pharmaceutical company sponsorship or participation was permitted. The Canadian Heart Research Centre has previously supported published guidelines for the early management of NSTE-ACS in 2000 with a subsequent update in 2002. The present document was developed using additional information from recent trials, and focuses on measures aimed to prevent recurrent ACS and improving long-term outcomes in patients presenting with NSTE-ACS. In addition, this document presents a simplified algorithm and a structured order set to encourage more consistent care that is in line with consensus conferences of the major North American and European associations, societies and colleges of cardiology.
