In patients with ST-segment depression the invasive strategy reduced death/myocardial infarction at 12 months from 18·2 to 12·0%, RR 0·66 (95 % CI 0·50–0·88) P=0·004 while mortality was changed from 5·8 to 3·3%, P=0·050. In patients without ST-segment depression the myocardial infarction. See page 3, doi:10.1053/euhj.2001.2813 for the Editorial comment on this articl
