Description
Charlotte Siegers and co-authors report a heart study, published in 2026, on treating heart attacks invasively in the very old. Patients in their eighties and nineties with heart attacks, of both major types, are rising in number yet scarce in trials. The team reviewed all such patients admitted over four years, more than seven hundred and seventy-five in total, and compared those sent for vessel procedures against those managed with medicines alone.
Patients over ninety were more often women and had lower blood counts and kidney function, and fewer received vessel imaging or stenting. Complication rates did not differ between strategies. One year survival favored the invasive route, above all in the heart attack type without full vessel blockage, supporting careful selection rather than age based refusal.
