Optimal timing of invasive intervention for high-risk non-ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction patients.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To compare the immediate, early, and delayed percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) strategies in non-ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) patients with high-risk.

Methods

Medical records of patients treated at the Daping Hospital, Third Military Medical University, Chongqing, China between 2011 and 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. Only patients with complete available information were included. All patients assigned into three groups based on the timing of PCI including immediate (< 2 h), early (2-24 h) and delayed (≥ 24 h) intervention. Multivariable Cox hazards regression and simpler nonlinear models were performed.

Results

A total of 657 patients were included in the study. The median follow-up length was 3.29 (interquartile range: 1.
