Abstract
BACKGROUND: Advanced age is a major determinant of impaired prognosis among patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, the mechanisms associated with suboptimal reperfusion and enhanced complications are still largely undefined. The aim of the present study was to assess the impact of age on the angiographic findings and the procedural results of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) in patients with STEMI. METHODS: A consecutive cohort of patients admitted for STEMI treated with pPCI were included. Infarct-related artery (IRA) patency was defined for preprocedural TIMI flow 3. RESULTS: We included 520 patients, divided according to age tertiles (<61; 61-72; ?73). Elderly patients were more often females, with hypertension, renal failure, prior myocardial infarction or PCI, with lower rates of smoking history, haemoglobin, leukocytes and cholesterol (P?
