Incidence and Predictors of Referral for Coronary Angiography and Revascularization in Non‐ST‐Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction
Less than half of ambulance-transported patients with NSTEMI underwent ICA, and only a quarter of the cohort received revascularization, despite there being a survival benefit with invasive management. Although patients who do not undergo ICA are older and more comorbid, there are potentially modifiable barriers to access to care, including socioeconomic status, rurality, and sex.
