The addition of UFH to aspirin reduces the rate of death or MI in patients with NSTE ACS.47 Enoxaparin was mentioned as preferred over UFH in the 2002 ACC/AHA clinical practice guidelines, as two large clinical trials found a reduction in the combined endpoint of death, MI, or need for PCI in patients...

In patients with NSTE ACS, clinical practice guidelines recommend either PCI or coronary artery bypass grafting revascularization as an early treatment for high-risk patients, and that such an approach also be considered for moderate-risk patients. An early invasive approach results in fewer Mis, less need for revascularization procedures over the next year after hospitalization, and lower cost than the conservative medical stabilization approach.
