ackground: Ischemic heart disease is responsible for approximately 1/3 of all global deaths, making it a leading cause of cardiovascular mortality. Non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) which is an acute event in spectrum of coronary artery disease is a potentially life-threatening emergency,makes up for the majority of admissions to a cardiac unit with one-yearmortality rate of 23.5%. The objective of this study was todetermine the association of degree of ST segment depression on hospital mortality in patients presenting with Non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI).Methods:This descriptive case-serieswas carried out in thedepartment of Cardiology, Punjab Institute of Cardiology Lahore.UsingNon-probability purposive sampling technique, a total of 250 patients of age between 30–75 years of either gender, who reported during the study period, with NSTEMI were inducted in this study.Results:In our study, 33.2%(n=83) patients were between 30-50 years and 66.8%(n=167) patients were between 51–75 years of the age.Mean age was 54.64±9.69 years.43.2%(n=108) patients were male and 56.8%(n=142) were females.Frequency of in-hospital mortality was 4.4%(n=11). Mortality increased with increasingdegree of ST segment depression on admission Electrocardiogram (ECG).Conclusion: In patients admitted with Non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), degree of ST segment depression on admission ECG predicts In-Hospital mortality.
