…(ACS) aims to maximise heart function by minimising areas of ischaemia and atherosclerotic progression. Medicines may also be used to facilitate other interventions, e.g., antiplatelet treatment to facilitate coronary stenting. However, medicines are not a substitute for evidence-based lifestyle interventions. Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) refers to unstable angina, non-ST elevated…
