Timing of angiography and outcomes in patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction: Insights from the evaluation and management of patients with acute chest pain in China registry.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Although an invasive strategy has been recommended within 24 h for patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), the optimal timing of the invasive strategy remains controversial. We sought to investigate the association between the different timings of invasive strategies and clinical outcomes in patients with NSTEMI.

Materials and methods

Patients admitted with NSTEMI from the Evaluation and Management of Patients with Acute ChesT pain in China (EMPACT) registry between January 2016 and September 2017 were included. The primary outcomes were major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) within 30 days. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to assess independent risk factors for MACEs.

Results

A total of 969 patients with NSTEMI fr
