Abstract

The use and predictors of early invasive management strategies in high-risk patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE ACS) is determined and the association of early invasive management with mortality is examined. It is found out that an early invasive management strategy is not utilized in the majority of high-risk patients with NSTE ACS.
