Key result
Early invasive management is recommended for CAD with LV dysfunction, HF, or failed medical therapy.
Why the study?
Does early invasive management and revascularization improve outcomes compared to optimal medical therapy in patients with coronary artery disease?
Does early invasive management and revascularization improve outcomes compared to optimal medical therapy in patients with coronary artery disease?
Early invasive management is recommended for CAD patients with LV dysfunction, heart failure, or failure of medical therapy, while optimal medical therapy is the initial strategy for all.
Optimal medical therapy should be initially utilized in all patients. Early invasive management and revascularization should be utilized in patients with left ventricular dysfunction, congestive heart failure, and failure of medical therapy. A shared decision-making process should always be utilized.
