Abstract

The fast population ageing and the delay in the age of presentation of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is leading to a rapid increase in the proportion of old patients with ACS. Although elderly patients with ACS deserves a specific clinical approach due to aging physiology, increased incidence of comorbidities and different patient expectations, paradoxically this patient population is usually underrepresented in clinical studies. The up-to-date European Society of Cardiology Guidelines on NSTEACS recommends an invasive strategy after taking the consideration of estimated life expectancy, comorbidities, quality of life and patients preferences. A comprehensive follow-up strategy involving cardiac rehabilitation and medical management should be implemented.

Özet

Akut koroner sendrom (AKS) görülme yaşının ilerlemesi ve yaşlanan popülasyon, klinik pratiğimizde AKS ile başvuran yaşlı hasta sayısında artışa neden olmaktadır. Yaşlanma fizyolojisine bağlı değişimler, eşlik eden komorbiditelerde artış ve hasta beklentilerine bağlı olarak, AKS ile başvuran yaşlı hastalara özel bir klinik yaklaşım gerektirmektedir ancak yaşlılar paradoksal olarak klinik çalışmalarda yeterince temsil edilmemektedir. Bu hasta grubunda; Avrupa Kardiyoloji Derneği'nin 2015 ST-segment yükselmesiz AKS kılavuzunda önerildiği üzere; tahmini yaşam beklentisi, komorbiditeler, hayat kalitesi ve hastanın tercihi gibi kişisel özellikleri göz önünde bulunduran invaziv strateji güncel tedavi yaklaşımıdır. Taburculuk sonrası tıpsal tedavi ve kardiyak rehabilitasyonu içeren kapsamlı bir izlem planı yapılmalıdır.
