ACS is a syndrome and not a disease, and as such it occurs in conjunction with many disease processes, either due to the primary illness or in association with treatment interventions. Indeed ACS has been reported to occur in medical patients and non-abdominal surgery patients alike, as well as in pediatric ICU patients [2, 3]. …
