Abstract It is known that in patients who experienced acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), the acute injury may evolve in the left ventricular remodeling (LVR) despite effective coronary revascularization and optimal medical therapy. Predicting LVR in these patients can be challenging. The age of patients suffered from ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is expected to rise in the next decades. In elderly patients, the outcome after STEMI is worse than in younger people, but they are less likely to receive reperfusion therapies. So, this study aimed at assessing the effect of management strategy of ST segment elevation myocardial infarction in elderly on LV remodeling and clinical outcome This study included 150 elderly patients above 60 years old with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction referred to the Coronary care unit, Benha University Hospital and classified into 3 groups: patients who treated with conservative therapy. patients who treated with primary percutaneous intervention. patients who treated with fibrinolytic therapy. |
