SENIOR NSTEMI STUDY INVASIVE vs NON INVASIVE MANAGEMENT OF NSTEMI IN ELDERLY

The survival advantage of invasive compared with non-invasive management appears to extend to patients with NSTEMI who are aged 80 years or older.

Early Invasive vs

TIMACS

VERDICT

Among patients with unstable angina or NSTEMI, early intervention (≤24 h) does not result in a decrease in the composite of death, MI, or stroke at 6 months compared to delayed intervention (≥36 h) except in patients at high-risk (GRACE score

140).

Early invasive recommended in GRACE>140 (2020 ESC NSTEMI)
