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.
