| Core Tip |
This real-world study focuses on the difficult but common scenario of elderly patients admitted with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), for which literature evidence is lacking. We retrospectively identified 105 patients older than 80 years admitted for AMI. An invasive revascularization strategy was weighed considering the ischemic/haemorrhagic risk and was more common in ST-elevation myocardial infarction than in non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction patients. In spite of a significant prevalence of atrial fibrillation and concomitant treatment with oral anticoagulation, we report a rate of in-hospital and 1-year cardiovascular death, ischemic and bleeding events lower than that previously described, underlying the importance of a tailored therapeutic approach in this population. |
