No benefit with early invasive strategy in patients with NSTE-ACS and elevated troponin T

This article has no abstract so we have provided the first paragraph of the full text.

Trials comparing an early invasive treatment strategy with more-conservative strategies in patients with non-ST-segment-elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) have shown divergent results with regard to survival and cardiovascular events. At 1 year, the ICTUS trial showed no benefit of an early invasive strategy over a selective invasive strategy in patients with NSTE-ACS and elevated cardiac troponin T levels. Longer term data from the same trial have confirmed these findings.
