 Are
Elderly Patients with Acute Coronary Syndromes Undertreated? Data from Euro
Heart Survey on ACS III Registry
Dr. Wojakowski presented
data from the Euro Heart Survey ACS III Registry from 2006 to 2009. The
investigators aimed to assess the use and in-hospital outcome of invasive
treatment in elderly patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). CS III
Registry of the Euro Heart Survey Programme included 21,872 consecutive
patients admitted with ACS. They included 13,018 patients (59.5%) with NSTE-ACS
[7,688 (35.1%) with NSTEMI and 5,330 (24.4%) with unstable angina] and 8854
patients (40.5%) with STEMI/LBBB MI.
Elderly patients comprised of 29.1% (n=6,371) of the ACS population with
higher proportion of females (49.4% vs. 26.8%, p <0.001). He presented
that the elderly with NSTE ACS were more often with NSTEMI (44.4% vs. 31.4%,
p <0.01) and less often with UA (21.6% vs. 25.5%, p <0.01) than the
younger population. Time from symptoms onset to admission in STEMI/LBBB
MI was significantly.......
