Overview of Initial Conservative versus Initial Invasive Strategies in UA / NSTEMI
ACC / AHA Guidelines (DO NOT EDIT) [1]
| “ |
Class I1. An early invasive strategy (i.e., diagnostic coronary angiography with intent to perform percutaneous coronary revascularization or CABG) is indicated in UA / NSTEMI patients who have refractory angina or hemodynamic or electrical instability (without serious comorbidities or contraindications to such procedures). (Level of Evidence: B) 2. An early invasive strategy (i.e., diagnostic angiography with intent to perform percutaneous coronary revascularization or CABG) is indicated in initially stabilized UA / NSTEMI patients (without serious comorbidities or contraindications to such procedures) who have an elevated risk for clinical events (Level of Evidence: A) Class IIb1. In initially stabilized patients:
2. An invasive strategy may be reasonable in patients with chronic renal insufficiency. (Level of Evidence: C) Class III1. An early invasive strategy (i.e., diagnostic angiography with intent to perform coronary artery revascularization) is not recommended in patients with extensive comorbidities (e.g., liver failure or pulmonary failure, cancer), in whom the risks of revascularization and comorbid conditions are likely to outweigh the benefits of revascularization. (Level of Evidence: C) 2. An early invasive strategy (i.e., diagnostic angiography with intent to perform coronary artery revascularization) is not recommended in patients with acute chest pain and a low likelihood of Acute coronary syndromes. (Level of Evidence: C) 3. An early invasive strategy (i.e., diagnostic angiography with intent to perform coronary artery revascularization) should not be performed in patients who will not consent to revascularization regardless of the findings. (Level of Evidence: C) | ” |
