Criteria for high risk with indication for invasive management [20]

Primary criteria

1. Relevant rise or fall in troponin

2. Dynamic ST- or T-wave changes (symptomatic or silent)

3. GRACE score > 140

Secondary criteria

4. Diabetes mellitus

5. Renal insufficiency (eGFR < 60 ml/min/1.73 m2)

6. Reduced LV function (ejection fraction < 40%)

7. Early post-infarction angina

8. Recent PCI

9. Prior CABG

10. Intermediate to high GRACE risk score (http://www.gracescore.org)
