摘要
Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality among the elderly and the elderly population has been increasing worldwide. Although no specific age cut-off point is used to describe this population, 'the elderly' generally refers to individuals older than 75 years. The optimal reperfusion strategy in elderly patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction remains debated because limited trial data are available. This article reviews the outcomes of the primary percutaneous coronary intervention among the elderly patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.
