Key result
Invasive management significantly reduced in-hospital mortality compared to conservative management in patients with ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (6.1% vs 22.3%, p=0.0001).
Why the study?
Does invasive management improve in-hospital mortality in patients with STE-ACS admitted to interventional cardiology units compared to conservative management?
Observational (n=714)
Yes
Does invasive management improve in-hospital mortality in patients with STE-ACS admitted to interventional cardiology units compared to conservative management?
Invasive management of STE-ACS in interventional cardiology units is associated with significantly lower in-hospital mortality compared to conservative management, though delayed admission remains a barrier to primary PCI.

Krutitsky et al. (2016) conducted an observational in ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (STE-ACS) (n=714). Invasive management (primary percutaneous coronary intervention) vs. Conservative management was evaluated on In-hospital mortality (p=0.0001). Invasive management significantly reduced in-hospital mortality compared to conservative management in patients with ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (6.1% vs 22.3%, p=0.0001).
