Association between Hospital Cardiac Catheter Laboratory Status, use of an Invasive Strategy and Outcomes after NSTEMI

ConclusionsOur study highlights important differences in both the utilisation of invasive coronary strategy and subsequent management/outcomes of NSTEMI patients according to admitting hospital CCL facilities. High-risk NSTEMI patients admitted to ‘diagnostic’ hospitals had greater in-hospital mortality, possibly because of reduced PCI use, which needs to be addressed.
