Abstract
On behalf of the Dutch ACS working group, we discuss multiple recommendations which have been implemented in the 2015 ESC guidelines for the management of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) in patients presenting without persistent ST-segment elevation.
Keywords: NSTE-ACS guidelines; NVVC ACS working group statement.
