Comparison of Clinical Profiles, Angiographic Features and Outcomes of Young and Elderly Patients with ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction

Objective: It is to reveal the differences between clinical, angiographic, in-hospital and one-year follow-up results young elderly patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.
 Material Methods: This study was designed retrospectively in two centers. 2891 were screened; 260 of which young. randomly selected among both groups evaluated.
 Results: The median age 37 (34-39) years 65 (56-73) years, male gender dominant groups. Young more likely be admitted Killip class 1, while older 2 (P=0.002). Single-vessel disease common (81.0% vs. 46.3%; P<0.001), multi-vessel (19.0% 53.7%; P<0.001). In follow-up, all-cause hospitalization lower younger patients, but there no significant difference mortality patients.
 Conclusion: presenting infarction frequent smokers, obese dyslipidemic although outcomes better than elderly, similar those elderly.
