Patients with moderate- or high-risk ACS should receive an early, invasive approach that includes concomitant antithrombotic therapy, including aspirin and clopidogrel as well as unfractionated heparin or low-molecular-weightheparin (eg, dalteparin, enoxaparin, nadroparin), intravenous platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa complex blockers (eg, tirofiban, eptifibatide), and a beta-blocker. Early revascularization is the goal.

Low-risk patients with NSTEMI ACS should undergo further follow-up with biomarkers and clinical assessment. Intermediate-risk NSTEMI ACS patients should undergo further diagnostic assessment quickly to determine their appropriate risk category.
