AB  - PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To identify and address the challenges associated with the 
      care of ACS patients during the coronavirus 2019 pandemic. RECENT FINDINGS: The 
      COVID-19 pandemic has had a considerable global impact with over 2.0 million 
      deaths worldwide so far. There has been considerable evidence suggesting that 
      COVID-19 increases the risk of acute coronary syndromes (ACS). We propose 
      characterizing ACS patients into 3 distinct categories to better assist in 
      appropriate triage and management: critically ill patients, non-critically ill ST 
      elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients, and non-critically ill non-ST 
      elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI)/unstable angina (UA) patients. We 
      thoroughly review treatments strategies, management considerations, and current 
      consensus statements for the care of COVID-19 patients with ACS. As we continue 
      to gain more experience with management of COVID-19 in ACS patients and as 
      health-care workers and patients continue to get vaccinated, we must continue to 
      adapt our strategies to treat this high-risk group of patients.
