Effect of early invasive treatment in elderly patients with high-risk heart conditions
Official title: Comparison of Mortality and Complication Rates (Re-myocardial Infarction, Heart Failure, Re-hospitalization, Stroke) After 12 Months Between Two Groups of Patients Undergoing Early Invasive and Late Invasive Strategies in Patients With Elderly Patients With High - Risk Non-ST-segment Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome.
Run by Gia Dinh People Hospital · NCT06486233 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing whether older patients with serious heart issues do better with early treatment compared to later treatment, looking at their health outcomes over a year.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are elderly patients aged 60 years and older diagnosed with high-risk non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with acute coronary syndrome due to stent thrombosis or coronary artery bypass graft occlusion may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This observational study aims to compare major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and their predisposing factors in elderly patients with high-risk non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome who receive either early or late invasive treatment. It seeks to answer two key questions: the factors associated with a late invasive strategy and whether there is a significant difference in mortality and complication rates between the two treatment groups after 12 months. The study will involve patients aged 60 and older who meet specific criteria for high-risk conditions and receive reperfusion intervention.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved treatment strategies for elderly patients with high-risk heart conditions, potentially reducing mortality and complications.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have explored similar approaches in treating acute coronary syndromes, but the specific focus on elderly patients and the comparison of early versus late invasive strategies is relatively novel.
