“…These results were consistent with previous studies suggesting that older age, 1,[6][7][8] female gender, [9][10][11][12] and dementia 13) are factors inversely related to the use of invasive procedures including PCI. Increased ADL impairment in the patients without emergency PCI may have been due to the greater age of this subgroup.…”

“…Although some previous studies suggested that primary PCI has a beneficial effect on the in-hospital mortality of elderly AMI patients as well as younger AMI patients, [2][3][4] limited data exist regarding the effect of emergency PCI on the in-hospital death rates of very elderly patients, especially in Japan. 6) Our study extends these limited findings and suggests that the use of emergency PCI is significantly and inversely related to the in-hospital mortality in very elderly Japanese patients 80 years of age and older with AMI.…”

“…The poorer outcome of hypertensive subjects is probably attributable not to arterial hypertension but to the concomitant existence of other risk factors such as an older mean patient age, an increased proportion of women, and a greater prevalence of diabetes mellitus and antecedents of prior infarction, all these being factors known to imply a poorer prognosis in the acute phase of myocardial infarction. 14,15 Of note in the multivariate analysis was a lesser incidence of primary ventricular fibrillation in the hypertensive group that might be attributed to a protective role of antihypertensive medication. 16 In contrast, the incidence of atrial fibrillation was higher among these patients.…”

“…В другом исследовании, проведенном в Японии у 483 больных ИМ с подъемом сегмента ST в возрасте от 75 до 85 лет, 55% больных получали фиб-ринолитическую терапию (успешную в 92% случаев) и 45% больных получали только «консервативную те-рапию». Стратегия фармакологической реперфузии не имела каких-либо клинических преимуществ в этом исследовании, а частота кровоизлияний в мозг в группах лечения практически не различалась [28].…”
