What are the different kinds of symptoms of NSTE-ACS?
NSTE-ACS most commonly presents as a pressure-type chest pain that typically occurs at rest or with minimal exertion. The pain most frequently starts in the retrosternal area and can radiate to either or both arms, the neck, or the jaw. Pain may also occur in these areas independent of chest pain. Differential diagnosis of NSTE-ACS includes nonischemic cardiovascular causes of chest pain (eg, aortic dissection, expanding aortic aneurysm, pericarditis, pulmonary embolism), noncardiovascular causes of chest, back, or upper abdominal discomfort (eg, pulmonary causes, gastrointestinal causes, musculoskeletal causes, psychiatric disorders, other etiologies).
