Trial name or title | Timing of invasive strategy in acute coronary syndrome without ST segment elevation in groups of patients with different ischemic risk |
Methods | Randomized controlled trial |
Participants | 178 participants with UA/NSTEMI |
Interventions | Early invasive (coronary angiography‐SCAG and percutaneous intervention‐PCI in the first 24 hours after admission); selective invasive (attempt for medical stabilization and proceeding to SCAG only in case of angina recurrence and/or evidence of inducible myocardial ischaemia |
Outcomes | Choice of an early invasive strategy in participants with acute coronary syndrome without ST elevation in the presence of high risk features is associated with a reduced incidence of MACE compared to a selective invasive strategy. In the subgroups of participants without high risk characteristics the advantages of early versus selective are not as clear |

UA = unstable angina; NSTEMI = non ST segment myocardial infarction; SCAG = Selective coronary angiography; PCI = Percutaneous coronary intervention; MACE = Major adverse cardiac events
