Yes, an NSTEMI is a type of acute myocardial infarction (MI). Acute MI refers to the sudden and severe damage to the heart muscle, typically due to blocked blood flow in the coronary arteries. There are two main types of acute MI: ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). Both are considered acute because they involve a sudden blockage of blood flow to the heart muscle, but they differ in the specific electrocardiogram (ECG) changes and the extent of the heart muscle damage.

Patients with acute coronary syndrome, the sudden clinical manifestation of atherosclerotic heart disease, may present as ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), non�CST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), or unstable angina.
