Importance of increasing age on the presentation and outcome of acute coronary syndromes in elderly patients

Abstract: The study demonstrated important differences between elderly (70 to 79 years) and very elderly (> or =80 years) patients hospitalized with ACS. The older cohort was sicker on admission and had poorer outcome, but a subgroup selected for angiography and possible intervention had two-year outcomes similar to the younger cohort.

“…Major adverse cardiac events occurred in only 2.1% of young patients and 9.0%(four fold increase) in older age group (p=0.001).Very elderly group had more often heart failure (33.3%vs19.4%) and renal dysfunction (21.6% vs 12.3%) than comparatively less elderly group. 9 The very elderly patients were sicker on admission and had poor outcome. 9 Skolnick et al studied 5,557 patients with NSTEMI age 90 yrs and compare in hospital outcome with a patients aged 75 to 89 yrs.…”

“…9 The very elderly patients were sicker on admission and had poor outcome. 9 Skolnick et al studied 5,557 patients with NSTEMI age 90 yrs and compare in hospital outcome with a patients aged 75 to 89 yrs. Although both groups had much in common, in comparison with the younger elderly, the older elderly was less likely to be diabetic, smokers or obese.…”

“…Otra razón de la superioridad del GRACE puede estar relacionada con el análisis de la edad en varios estratos, diferente de la dicotomización reduccionista realizada por el TIMI. La edad se ha demostrado como un fuerte discriminante de riesgo y de beneficio de la estrategia invasiva en SCA [9][10][11] . En nuestra muestra, el análisis de la curva ROC muestra que el punto de corte de la edad con mejor desempeño pronóstico es 75 años.…”

“…Considering the North-American data, 61% of the AMI occur in individuals older than 65 years and 36% in those older than 75 years. Additionally, the mortality markedly increases with age, reaching 85% in the acute phase of AMI among individuals older than 65 years [2][3][4][5][6] .…”
