Summary

The purpose of this study is to describe patients, 75 years old or older, with Non ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI) especially regarding the following variables: cardiovascular risk, co-morbidity and frailty. The investigators hypothesize that the degree of frailty influences the benefit from coronary angiography and the possible invasive treatment which can follow.
