Clinical Characteristics, Management Strategies, and Outcomes of Non-ST-Segment-Elevation Myocardial Infarction Patients With and Without Prior Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting.

ABSTRACT: Background There are limited data on the management strategies, temporal trends and clinical outcomes of patients who present with non-ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction and have a prior history of CABG. Methods and Results We identified 287 658 patients with non-ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction between 2010 and 2017 in the United Kingdom Myocardial Infarction National Audit Project database. Clinical and outcome data were analyzed by dividing into 2 groups by prior history of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG): group 1, no prior CABG (n=262 362); and group 2, prior CABG (n=25 296). Patients in group 2 were older, had higher GRACE (Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events) risk scores and burden of comorbid illnesses. More patients underwent coronary angiography (69%
