ACS: Acute Coronary Syndrome – Definition
Acute coronary syndrome means your heart muscle isn’t getting enough blood because an artery is suddenly blocked by a clot. Think of it like a garden hose getting pinched—the part after the pinch can’t get water. When this blockage happens in your heart, it can cause chest pain or even a heart attack.
Warning signs of this problem include chest pressure, shortness of breath, sweating, or feeling sick. If these symptoms show up, it’s important to call emergency services right away. Doctors can give medicines to dissolve the clot or use a small balloon and stent to open the artery, which helps save the heart muscle and prevents lasting damage.
