Síndrome coronario agudo en el anciano: evaluación, diagnóstico y tratamiento.

Abstract: Introducción: La enfermedad coronaria, y en especial los síndromes coronarios agudos, son un grupo de entidades que generan alta mortalidad en la población anciana, que a su vez, representa un grupo poblacional importante en las diversas series epidemiológicas, caracterizándose por sus dificultades diagnósticas y terapéuticas, caracterizadas por una pobre cantidad de estudios y una baja representatividad en los ensayos clínicos, generando grandes dudas en la práctica clínica diaria.

“…However, in elderly people, ACS manifests itself through atypical DT associated with the presence of fatigue, dizziness and dyspnea, in addition, the latter increases the probability of suffering an ACS. 15,36,37 According to the authors, Domínguez Rodriguez A et al affirm that the physician, sometimes, does not pay attention to 9 important variables that are obtained in the initial evaluation of the patient, since these can lead to the diagnosis of ACS, and are the following: DT of oppressive, retrosternal, epigastric character, irradiated to the shoulders, the precipitating factor of which is a situation of exertion, pain associated with vegetative symptoms and the presence of dyspnea, the duration is between 5-20 minutes of repetition during the last 24 hours. 37 In relation to diagnostic tests for DT in HEDs, clinical guidelines recommend performing an ECG, determination of highly sensitive troponins, and cardiovascular risk stratification.…”

“…35,[38][39][40] The ECG in the elderly patient usually provides nonspecific data, it is common to observe ST segment elevation and left bundle branch block, for this reason, it is advisable to compare the new ECG with old ones if they are available. 36 The presence or not of DT together with the elevation of the troponins has various diagnostic implications; according to the authors González del Hoyo M. et al the absence of DT together with the elevation of troponins is more frequent in elderly patients, this in turn, is related to a decrease in the performance of complementary tests, an increase in mortality, worse prognosis and less diagnosis of ACS. The diagnosis of ACS is more frequent in those patients who do present DT with troponin elevation.…”
