The emergency department, in agreement with the cardiology department, is the place where all the acute aspects of CVD are gathered. Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS) in the form of unstable angina, non-ST (NSTEMI) or ST (STEMI) segment elevation myocardial infarction, acute heart failure, pulmonary embolism, etc. are often observed in the emergency and cardiology departments. Due to the high amount of CVD, the need to early detect de-compensated conditions of individuals forced physicians to adopt tools and biochemical parameters able to detect the early sign of health instability.
