Impact of an invasive strategy on 5 years outcome in men and women with non–ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes

A routine invasive (RI) strategy in non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE ACS) has been associated with better outcome compared with a selective invasive (SI) strategy in men, but results in women have yielded disparate results. The aim of this study was to assess gender differences in long-term outcome with an SI compared with an RI strategy in NSTE ACS.Individual patient data were obtained from the FRISC II trial, ICTUS...
