Meta-Analysis on Invasive Versus Conservative Strategy in Patients Older Than Seventy Years With Non-ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction.

Management of non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) has evolved over the years, but most published data are from younger patients. Data on the NSTEMI management in older patients remain limited. We performed a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials to evaluate the long-term outcomes of invasive versus conservative strategies in older patients (>70 years old) with NSTEMI.

Sex Differences in Management and Outcomes Among Patients With High-Risk Pulmonary Embolism: A Nationwide Analysis.

Objective: To examine the sex differences in management and outcomes among patients with high-risk acute pulmonary embolism (PE).

Patients And Methods: The Nationwide Readmissions Database was used to identify hospitalizations with high-risk PE from January 1, 2016, to December 31, 2018. Differences in use of advanced therapies, in-hospital mortality, and bleeding events were compared between men and women.
