Current guidelines recommend an early invasive strategy in patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTEACS). The role of an invasive strategy in frail elderly patients remains controversial. The aim of this substudy was to assess the impact of an invasive strategy on outcomes according to the degree of frailty in these patients. ⋯ An invasive strategy was independently associated with better outcomes in very elderly patients with NSTEACS. This association was different according to frailty status.
