• Non-STelevation acute coronary syndrome
• Unstable angina
• Guidelines
• Ischemia-guided therapy

In August of 2014, the American Heart Association and American College of Cardiology (AHA/ACC) published a new guideline for the management of patients with non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes. With similar timing, the European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (EACTS) released new 2014 guidelines on myocardial revascularization, including a brief update on the 2011 European Society of Cardiology guidelines on the management of acute coronary syndromes in patients presenting without persistent ST-segment elevation. We briefly summarize key components of all three of these guideline publications, highlighting differences and concluding that similarities far outweigh differences in the American vs European approach to a patient with non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome.
