Mitral Regurgitation and Prognosis After Non-ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction in Very Old Patients.
2019
Background/Objetctives: Mitral regurgitation (MR)after an acute coronary syndrome is associated with a poor prognosis. However,the prognostic impact of MR in elderly patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardialinfarction (NSTEMI) has not been well addressed. Design: Prospective registry. Setting And Participants: The multicenter LONGEVO-SCA prospective registry included 532 unselected NSTEMI patients aged ≥80 years. Measurements: MR was quantified using echocardiography during admission in 497 patients. They were classified in two groups: significant (moderate or severe) or not significant MR (absent or mild). We evaluated the impact of MR status on mortality or readmission at 6 months…
An Easy Assessment of Frailty at Baseline Independently Predicts Prognosis in Very Elderly Patients With Acute Coronary Syndromes.
2017
Background: Information about the impact of frailty in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) is scarce. No study has assessed the prognostic impact of frailty as measured by the FRAIL scale in very elderly patients with ACS. Methods: The prospective multicenter LONGEVO-SCA registry included unselected patients with ACS aged 80 years or older. A comprehensive geriatric assessment was performed during hospitalization, including frailty assessment by the FRAIL scale. The primary endpoint was mortality at 6 months. Results: A total of 532 patients were included. Mean age was 84.3 years, 61.7% male. Most patients had positive troponin levels (84%) and high GRACE risk score values (mean 16…
