In this high yield episode, we review the clinical presentation, up front investigations, immediate and long-term management of patients who present with STEMIs - one of the 5 causes of life-threatening chest pain. Our medicine minute reviews the PLATO trial, which supports the use of ticagrelor over clopidogrel as the second agent in dual anti-platelet therapy in patients with ACS.
