Answer to Question 1

T
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a term used to refer to distinct conditions caused by a similar sequence of pathologic eventsa temporary or permanent blockage of a coronary artery. These conditions are characterized by an excessive demand or inadequate supply of oxygen and nutrients to the heart muscle associated with plaque disruption, thrombus formation, and vasoconstriction. ACSs consist of three major syndromes: unstable angina (UA), nonST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), and ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

Answer to Question 2

The particular portion of the heart that each lead sees is determined by two factors. The first factor is the dominance of the left ventricle on the ECG and the second is the position of the positive electrode on the body.
