ACS management philosophy : A thought provocation
Question
A cath lab is an “optional accessory” in the management of Acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
True or False ?
Answer
“Without a CCU…you can never, treat any Acute coronary syndrome … while we can treat most ACSs successfully without a cath lab “ (If you still got the answer wrong …sorry, no comments)
Best comment
Accessory is ok , but it is “20% foolish” to state cath-lab is optional, it should be mandatory.
