Older age is known as a negative prognostic parameter in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients. In this study, we aimed to explore age-associated differences in treatment protocols, in-hospital and 1-year mortality. This cohort observational study included 277 consecutive AMI patients, separated into 2 groups according to whether their age was ≥80 years or not. We found that group I patients (aged ≥80 years) had a notably lower rate of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) performed (P < 0.0001) and a notably higher in-hospital death rate (P < 0.003). The multivariate logistic regression analysis found that three variables were independent predictors of in-hospital mortality: age ≥80 years (P < 0.0001), LVEF |
