,,In-Hospital Outcomes, Clinical and Angiography Data Analysis in Elderly Patients with Non-ST-Elevation Acute Myocardial Infarction"

Acute Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI) is one of the main indications for urgent coronary angiography and interventional treatment procedures (percutaneous transluminal coronary intervention - PCI) in elderly patients. Elderly patients are often refused such procedures due to a large number of concomitant pathologies or the expected suboptimal outcomes. Coronary artery disease is known to be more complicated in these patients than in younger patients, and in-hospital outcomes after PTVAI are worse. However, the European Society of Cardiology and other international cardiology organizations recommend to perform intervention procedures in all patients with acute myocardial infarction, regardless of age. In this research were reviewed medical records of 149 patients (≥70 year old age) who were diagnosed with acute NSTEMI and treated in the period of 2019 02 01 – 2019 12 01 at the Clinic of Cardiology, by using the PCI with stenting (or at least there was an attempt). We analyzed the demographic, clinical and angiographic data of the patients, and determined their influence on the incidence of “Major Cardiovascular Events” (MACE) - new myocardial ischemia, death, stent thrombosis, stroke - and on the duration of in-hospital treatment
