Reply to the letter entitled “Risk Stratification and Timing for Invasive Approach in Patients with non-STEMI”

We appreciate the supportive comments in the letter entitled “Risk stratification and Timing for Invasive Approach in Patients with Non-STEMI” in response to our original article entitled “Gender-Based Outcome Differences for Emergency Department Presentation of Non-STEMI Acute Coronary Syndrome” [1]. Current literature supports the use of coronary an giography and revascularization for the majority of patients with Non-ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI). Although the timing of coronary angiography and revascularization remains controversial, we do agree that clinical features and risk stratification play an important role in thi s decision.
