What is the best approach to care for older patients with NSTE-ACS and HF?
The best approach to care for older patients with NSTE-ACS and HF is to implement medical therapy and an early invasive approach, followed by risk stratification to select the best revascularization strategy. The effectiveness of surgical revascularization has been most clearly demonstrated in patients with extensive CAD and LV dysfunction, and such patients should undergo testing to identify the severity and extent of ischemia and should in general be referred for coronary angiography.
