The impact of aging on acute coronary syndromes: an EHR-based analysis
In this consecutive cohort of 6,168 ACS patients, 1,036 (17%) were octo- and nonagenarians. Nonagenarians differ compared to 80+ and 85+ patients. At 30 days, mortality rates were 4% in the 80-84 group, 10% in the 85-89 group (p = < 0.001), and 15% in the nonagenarians (p < 0.001). This all-comer single-center study shows that appropriate selection may be feasible for an invasive strategy in ACS octo and nonagenarians in terms of safety and outcome.
