Ticagrelor for preventing atherothrombotic events after myocardial infarction (TA420)
Evidence-based recommendations on ticagrelor (Brilique) for preventing atherothrombotic events after myocardial infarction in adults.
Evidence-based recommendations on myocardial perfusion scintigraphy for diagnosing and managing angina and myocardial infarction in adults.
This guideline covers the early and longer-term (rehabilitation) management of acute coronary syndromes. These include ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and unstable angina. The guideline aims to improve survival and quality of life for people who have a heart attack or unstable angina.
This quality standard covers diagnosing and managing acute coronary syndromes in adults (aged 18 and over). Acute coronary syndromes are medical emergencies that include myocardial infarction (heart attack) and unstable angina (unexpected, severe chest pain). It describes high-quality care in priority areas for improvement.

Recent-onset chest pain of suspected cardiac origin: assessment and diagnosis (CG95)
This guideline covers assessing and diagnosing recent chest pain in people aged 18 and over and managing symptoms while a diagnosis is being made. It aims to improve outcomes by providing advice on tests (ECG, high-sensitivity troponin tests, multislice CT angiography, functional testing) that support healthcare professionals to make a speedy and accurate diagnosis.
