Abstract

In patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) undergoing coronary angiography, elderly women have nearly 50% lower rates of adverse events compared to elderly men, primarily driven by lower cardiovascular mortality. Nonelderly men and women patients with ACS have similar risk-adjusted rates of adverse events. Elderly ACS patients have lower rates of and delays in coronary revascularization than younger patients.
