Because the ST segment on the ECG does not become elevated in this condition, it is called a non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, or NSTEMI. When the blood clot that forms during ACS completely blocks the artery, all the heart muscle supplied by the artery begins to die.
If the blockage is complete, a STEMI occurs. In a STEMI, the ST segments on the electrocardiogram become elevated (hence, the name), and cardiac enzymes greatly increase. These findings indicate that significant heart cell death is occurring. With unstable angina and NSTEMI, the blockage is not (yet) complete. Clinically, NSTEMI is identical to unstable angina except for one thing. In NSTEMI, in contrast to unstable angina, the cardiac enzyme blood tests are abnormal, indicating that at least some actual cell damage is occurring to heart muscle cells.
