- Older patients with non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTEACS) often receive less adequate care, prompting a meta-analysis to compare routine invasive versus conservative treatment strategies based on individual patient data from recent trials.
- The study analyzed data from six randomized controlled trials involving 1,479 older adults, focusing on the impact of treatment type on all-cause mortality and myocardial infarction at one year.
- Results indicated no significant difference in mortality rates between the two treatment groups, but routine invasive management showed a lower risk of myocardial infarction and a greater likelihood of urgent revascularization.
