• However, such figures are misleading, and short term (in-hospital) outcome is still better for NSTE-ACS than for STEMI, while the longer term mortality rate is higher for NSTE-ACS, but this is probably influenced by the different age and risk structure of the STEMI and NSTE-ACS populations: NSTE-ACS patients are generally older and often have multivessel (MV) coronary artery disease (CAD).
