| Core Tip |
Frailty is increasingly recognized as a key determinant of outcomes in elderly patients with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction, yet its role in guiding invasive management remains debated. The recent analysis by Popat et al suggests that percutaneous coronary intervention may confer survival benefit across frailty categories, while also exposing patients to higher risks of complications, longer hospitalizations, and greater costs. These findings highlight the complexity of decision-making in this vulnerable cohort. In this letter to the editor, we reflect on these results and discuss them in the context of current literature, practice guidelines, and future directions. |
