Why the study?
Does first day angiography/angioplasty reduce death or reinfarction in patients with evolving non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction compared to early conservative therapy?
Does first day angiography/angioplasty reduce death or reinfarction in patients with evolving non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction compared to early conservative therapy?
First day coronary angiography followed by revascularization significantly reduces mortality and reinfarction at 6 months in patients with NSTEMI compared to an early conservative strategy.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Early invasive strategy warranted in NSTEMI; confirms benefit of first-day angiography over conservative care.
