Background: Coronary artery disease in the elderly is associated with multilevel atherosclerosis and chronic co-morbidities. Aim: To determine benefits from revascularisation in the elderly. Methods: A total of 830 patients over 65 years with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) were included. Of them, 339 admitted in 1992-1996 (38.5% STEMI population hospitalised in 1992-1996) (group 1) and 491 (55.2% STEMI population) admitted in 2005-2006 (group 2) were compared. We examined patient characteristics, the course of hospitalisation, the type of therapy and its effect on in-hospital and long-term prognosis (6-month follow-up). Results: The proportion of patients over 65 has increased significantly from 38.5% in 1992-1996 to 55....
