Our newest OMI publication, in JEM - Comparison of the STEMI vs. NSTEMI and Occlusion MI vs. NOMI paradigms of acute MI

Conclusions:STEMI( –) OMI patients had significant delays to catheterization but adverse outcomes more similar to STEMI(+) OMI than those with no occlusion. These data support the OMI/NOMI paradigm and the importance of further research into emergent reperfusion for STEMI(–) OMI.If your understanding of ACS stops at the STEMI vs. NSTEMI concept, then this figure below appears at first glance to justify and summarize your practice: But in reality, the paradigm keeps an important population hidden from your understanding: the NSTEMI patients with OMI. Their peak troponins were similar to the obvious STEMIs, and of course they both have OMI.
