Early Management in High-Risk Women with Acute Coronary Syndrome

Early invasive management significantly impacts the outcomes for women with high-risk non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome. A meta-analysis involving over 2,200 women indicated that while the total reduction in all-cause mortality and myocardial infarction was not statistically significant, a marked improvement was observed in patients with high GRACE scores exceeding 140. Specifically, this subgroup saw a 35% decrease in adverse outcomes, reinforcing current European Society of Cardiology recommendations. These findings highlight the importance of timely intervention in managing high-risk female populations to enhance survival rates.
