Risk factors for adverse clinical outcome in patients over 90 years with acute coronary syndrome

Abstract

BACKGROUND. Due to the increase in life expectancy of the Russian population, clinicians increasingly often began to face urgent problems in the treatment of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in patients over 90 years old. This is directly related to the exclusion of such patients from multicenter studies due to the high risk of complications and fatal outcomes, which "spoils" the statistical indicators of many specialized centers. The literature contains virtually no convincing data on the tactics and choice of the most optimal methods of treating ACS in this age group, which in turn is of great scientific interest in studying the risk factors for adverse outcomes in geriatric patients.
