Waiting a day before treating the case of ACS-Is it feasible?

The numbers of patients who are presenting to the emergency room of any cardiac facility are the ones who are feeling chest pain. Few years back, these people were thought to be treated with the intense therapy and yet the results which were expected from these patients were not that much yielding. However, the latest research has shown that the people who are presenting to the hospital with the complaints of chest pain must be thoroughly investigated despite being treated with the pain management. This increases the outcome for most of the patients, and in this way, other possible differential diagnosis will ruled out so that better treatment for the other possible diseases can be done.

According to research published in Journal of the American Medical Association, patients who are admitted in the cardiac facility can receive the treatment after the first day of attack. Those patients will still be susceptible to the same risk factors as they are before. On the other hand, patients who are immediately treated for the ACS through the invasive therapy, there risk factors will be remain same. According to the research done, patients who were immediately being treated for the ACS have the death rate of 13.7% or this ratio are considered for the revascularization therapy compared to the ratio of the people is 10.7% who receives the therapy a day later.

The reason that is considered for this is that the patients are considered for the major coronary vessels, while for the patients who are suffering from the blockage in the epicardial vessels are more susceptible. Hence, for the patients who are presenting to the cardiac facility shall be treated on the basis of the emergency shall be given a chance of not being treated immediately and should wait for one day. This will improve the outcome if the patient is treated one day later. The reason is that the patient will compensate for it, and in this way, they will be treated for the best of the circumstances. However, it is still ideal that if ECG is showing the wide damage to the walls of the heart, the primary therapy for treating the patients for the ACS shall be done as quickly as possible. The reason is that in these cases, there are very bright chances that they will have the complications after the treatment for the ACS.
