Abstract |
Invasive treatment (coronary angiography and intervention if feasible) of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) has been shown to lead to better outcomes than medical therapy alone, but the elderly have been under-represented in many of the studies. In the elderly, medical therapy is common in ACS. Fear of complications related to the procedure and unclear benefit in older patients are common reasons for invasive procedures being withheld. Our hypothesis is that invasive treatment of elderly patients with ACS will lead to a better outcome in terms of survival and quality of life than medical therapy alone, with acceptable risk. |
