Abstract
Background: Nonagenarians are a fast-growing age group among acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients. While new therapeutic options have improved outcomes of ACS patients, data regarding very elderly ACS patients are limited. We aimed to evaluate temporal trends in the treatment and outcomes of nonagenarian ACS patients.
Methods: Included were ACS patients aged below 90 years enrolled in ACS Israeli Survey. Patients were divided into two groups according to enrolment period: early (2000-2010) and recent (2012-2021). The primary endpoints were 30-day major adverse cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality. Secondary outcomes included in-hospital and 1-year all-cause mortality.
Results: Included were 316 elderly ACS patients. Of them, 184 were enrolled in the early and 132 in recent surveys. Patients enrolled in the recent period were more commonly referred for an invasive strategy and more commonly received guideline-based medical therapy. All-cause mortality at 30 days was significantly lower in the recent group compared with the early group (12.5 and 26.1%, respectively, P = 0.005). Rates of 30-day major adverse cardiovascular events were also significantly lower in the recent group (21.9 and 35.9%, respectively, P = 0.012). Patients in the recent group received more aggressive medical therapy in discharge but at 30-day follow-up, no difference in medical treatment was observed in the two groups. There were no significant differences in 1-year mortality rates.
Conclusions: Treatment of nonagenarians with ACS has improved over the past decade. Treatment improvement was associated with a significant improvement in 30-day outcomes without any effect in 1 year. Nevertheless, even with contemporary treatment, nonagenarians with ACS remain a high-risk group with high mortality rates.
期刊介绍：
Coronary Artery Disease welcomes reports of original research with a clinical emphasis, including observational studies, clinical trials, translational research, novel imaging, pharmacology and interventional approaches as well as advances in laboratory research that contribute to the understanding of coronary artery disease. Each issue of Coronary Artery Disease is divided into four areas of focus: Original Research articles, Review in Depth articles by leading experts in the field, Editorials and Images in Coronary Artery Disease. The Editorials will comment on selected original research published in each issue of Coronary Artery Disease, as well as highlight controversies in coronary artery disease understanding and management.
Submitted artcles undergo a preliminary review by the editor. Some articles may be returned to authors without further consideration. Those being considered for publication will undergo further assessment and peer-review by the editors and those invited to do so from a reviewer pool.
