Why the study?
Does a conservative, ischemia-guided strategy reduce costs compared to a routine invasive strategy in clinically uncomplicated patients after non-Q-wave myocardial infarction?
Does a conservative, ischemia-guided strategy reduce costs compared to a routine invasive strategy in clinically uncomplicated patients after non-Q-wave myocardial infarction?
A conservative, ischemia-guided strategy is more cost-effective than routine coronary angiography after uncomplicated non-Q-wave myocardial infarction.
