The Contemporary Use of Angiography and Revascularization Among Patients With Non–ST‐Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction in the United States Compared With South Korea

Practice guidelines recommend an early invasive strategy for high‐risk non‐ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) patients, but international differences in the use of invasive strategies are unknown.
