Invasive or Conservative Strategy in DM and Non ST-Segment Elevation

An early invasive strategy yielded similar RR reductions in overall cardiovascular events in diabetic and nondiabetic patients. However, an invasive strategy appeared to reduce recurrent nonfatal MI to a greater extent in diabetic patients. These data support the updated guidelines that recommend an invasive strategy for patients with diabetes mellitus and non–ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes (Journal of the American College of Cardiology)
