Title: Italian Elderly ACS Study
Brief Summary: A randomized study comparing an early aggressive with an initially conservative strategy in patients \>74 y.o. with non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome.

This study had generated a secondary one:

"Causes of death in elderly patients with Non-ST-Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome; predictors of in-hospital and follow-up death"


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

1. Patients presenting or admitted to hospital with symptoms suspected to represent an acute coronary syndrome (unstable angina or MI without persistent ST elevation) i.e., clinical history consistent with new onset, or a worsening pattern, of characteristic ischemic chest pain or ischemic symptoms occurring at rest or with minimal activity (lasting longer than five minutes or requiring sublingual nitroglycerin for relief of the pain)
2. Able to randomise within 24 hours of the onset of the most recent episode of symptoms
3. At least two of the three following additional criteria:

   * Age more than or equal to 60 years
   * Troponin T or I or Creatine Kinase - Myocardial Bands (CK-MB) above the upper limit of normal for the local institution
   * ElectroCardioGram (ECG) changes compatible with ischemia (i.e., ST depression at least 1 mm in two contiguous leads or T wave inversion mroe than 3 mm or any dynamic ST shift or transient ST elevation)
4. Written informed consent dated and signed

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Age less than 21 years
2. Not a suitable candidate for revascularisation
3. Co-morbid condition with life expectancy less than six months
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* Over 74 years of age.
* Have had symptoms suggestive of acute myocardial ischemia at rest within 48 hours prior to randomization, and ischemic ECG changes or elevated levels of biochemical markers of myocardial damage.
* Provide written informed consent before randomization.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Secondary causes of acute myocardial ischemia.
* Ongoing myocardial ischemia despite maximally titrated anti-ischemic therapy (invasive strategy recommended).
* Ongoing signs of acute heart failure despite treatment (invasive strategy recommended).
* Percutaneous coronary intervention or bypass surgery within 30 days prior to randomization.
* A serum creatinine level greater than 2.5 mg/dL.
* Active internal bleeding, history of hemorrhagic diathesis or recent transfusion of red blood cells, whole blood or platelets.
* History of cerebrovascular accident within the previous month.
* Known current platelet count \< 90,000 cells/mL.
* Gastrointestinal or genitourinary bleeding of clinical significance within 6 weeks prior to randomization.
* Concomitant severe obstructive lung disease, malignancy or neurologic deficit limiting follow-up or adherence to the study protocol.
* Participation in any phase of another clinical research study involving the evaluation of another investigational drug or device within 30 days prior to randomization.
* Inability to give at least verbal informed consent to the study.
C: Inclusion Criteria:

1. Subject is \>18 years old with recent acute ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (STEACS) requiring emergent coronary angiography.
2. Patient has no contraindication to percutaneous arterial access by both and transfemoral route.
3. Subject has been informed of the nature of the study and agrees to its provisions and has provided written informed consent as approved by the Institutional Review Board/Ethics Committee of the respective clinical site.
4. Patient and the treating physician agree that the subject will comply with all follow-up evaluations.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Subject's age is \<18 years and he has no acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (ST elevation of a least 0.1 mV in ≥2 extremity leads or at least 0.2 mV in ≥2 precordial leads).
2. Subject has had a recent stroke or TIA (\<4 weeks), irrespective of age.
3. Patient has an international normalized ratio (INR) \> 2.0, or other severe bleeding diathesis
4. The patient is pregnant or breastfeeding.
5. Known allergies to: aspirin, clopidogrel and ticlopidine, heparin, IIb/IIIa inhibitors, stainless steel, or contrast agent (which cannot be adequately premedicated).

7.Subject is currently participating in an investigational drug or device study that has not completed the primary endpoint or that clinically interferes with the current study endpoints.

8.Prior participation in this study.
D: Inclusion Criteria:

1. Clinical symptoms:

   Instable angina pectoris:
   * Angina at rest \< 24 hours
   * new onset worsening angina within the last weeks with angina at very low threshold \< 24 h
2. Troponin T:

   Troponin T-elevation ≥ 0,03 μg/l
3. Informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Age \< 18 years
2. Age \> 90 years
3. STEMI
4. Hemodynamic instability
5. Cardiogenic shock
6. Warfarin therapy
7. Contraindications for GpIIb/IIIa-inhibitors
8. life expectancy \< 6 months
9. known high bleeding risk
10. Pregnancy
11. Other reasons for Troponin-elevation: Myocarditis, secondary after hypertensive crisis, cardiac decompensation
12. No informed consent
