Timing of invasive strategy in diabetic and non-diabetic patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome.

Introduction: Patients with acute coronary syndrome without ST segment elevation are a heterogeneous group with respect to the risk of having a major adverse cardiac event (MACE). A history of diabetes mellitus (DM) is no doubt one of the factors that define a patient as being at a higher risk of having the syndrome.

Aim: To compare early invasive strategy with selective invasive strategy indicated for patients with and without DM.
