Why the study?
What are the outcomes and predictors of mortality in patients aged >80 years with STEMI treated with primary PCI?
What are the outcomes and predictors of mortality in patients aged >80 years with STEMI treated with primary PCI?
In octogenarians and older patients with STEMI undergoing primary PCI, mortality remains high (28.1% at 1 year), driven by factors such as low LVEF, advanced age, procedural failure, and hemodynamic instability.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Mortality remains high in octogenarians with STEMI after pPCI; leaves open whether targeting low LVEF or procedural success improves outcomes in prospective studies.
Caretta et al. (2014) studied this question.
