摘要：

Our study assessing catheterization rates with insurance coverage shows that insurance status is an independent predictor of the in-hospital catheterization rate in patients presenting with non-ST-segment elevation AMI and unstable angina. Medicaid and the uninsured group were significantly less likely to undergo catheterization. Patients who presented with AMI received cardiac catheterization regardless of their insurance status.
