The national standards for acute coronary syndrome consist of 44 main criteria and 211 sub-standards aimed at providing an integrated medical service, verifying that the necessary procedures are enabled and activated safely, quickly and professionally from the moment the symptoms are detected in the patient to receiving full care and appropriate rehabilitation.
