# MedStar Southern Maryland earns AHA NSTEMI Gold recognition

*[MedStar Southern Maryland Hospital](https://app.clinicalterminal.com/hospital/589156) Center has received the [American Heart Association](https://app.clinicalterminal.com/company/100011878)'s Get With The Guidelines – Coronary Artery Disease NSTEMI Gold with Target: Type 2 Diabetes recognition, according to the hospital.*

The award reflects the hospital's commitment to rapid, evidence-based care for patients with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), a serious and potentially life-threatening condition.

More than 1 million cases of acute coronary syndrome require hospitalization in the U.S. each year, with about 70% classified as NSTEMI, caused by a complete blockage in a coronary artery, the hospital noted.
