⚠️Note:
- 25-30% of NSTEMIs are found to have total thrombotic occlusion at the time of cardiac cath (PMID 29020244)
- Mortality rates in these patients are ~2x higher than in those with non-occluded vessels (PMID 29020244)
- The Occlusion Myocardial Infarction (OMI) / Non-Occlusion Myocardial Infarction (NOMI) paradigm provides a framework for identifying patients with “NSTEMIs” who are more likely to have acute total thrombotic occlusion of a coronary artery
