Non-ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) is a serious disease with different clinical, angiographic and laboratory findings. The name of the Czech session at the largest European congress of interventional cardiology, EuroPCR 2008, "Are all non-ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction patients equal?" pointed out very well the differences among the patients. The session prepared by the Working Group of Interventional Cardiology of the Czech Society of Cardio-logy consisted of three interesting cases followed by short reviews of up-to-date evidence. This article is a short summary of the presentations focusing on some of the "hidden" problems.
