Methods: A total of 190 consecutive NSTEMI patients ≥80 years old in Fuwai Hospital were included from 2014 to 2017. These patients were grouped by gender, and sub-grouped by conservative treatment or invasive treatment. The clinical characteristics, medical history, discharge drug used, and prognosis were collected and compared between these two treatment strategies. Results: There were significant differences between these two treatment strategies in terms of GRACE grade, history of myocardial infarction (MI), after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), III grade, renal dysfunction, anemia, and use of diuretic (P Conclusions: There were gender differences in treatment strategies among NSTEMI patients ≥80 years old. The difference in treatment strategies in males was more pronounced than in females, in terms of long- term survival rate. UR - https://jtd.amegroups.org/article/view/33966
