Impact of age on management and outcome of acute coronary syndrome: Observations from the global registry of acute coronary events (GRACE)
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Evidence-based cardiac therapies are underutilized in elderly patients. We assessed differences in practice patterns, comorbidities, and in-hospital event rates, by age and type of acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
METHODS: We studied 24165 ACS patients in 102 hospitals in 14 countries stratified by age.
