• Rarely there is transient ST segment elevation
• There may be T inversions
• Any new ST segment changes like depression of even 0.05 mV may denote increasing severity.
• New deep T wave inversions (more than 0.3 mV) may be significant, but usually T wave changes are non­specific.

• IQhe cardiac markers are negative on admission then it may be repeated at 6 and 12 hours after presentation.
• AII the patient with elevated cardiac markers and ECG changes should be admitted to the hospital.

• If the patient is pain free and the markers are nega­tive then patient should undergo stress testing in 72 hours. For atients who cannot walk, Dobutamine stress test should be done (non-exercise or- pharmacologicaI stress test). -
