Utilization Rate and Outcomes of Intravascular Imaging in Elderly Patients Presenting With ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction
Abstract
Background
Elderly patients presenting with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) represent a vulnerable population with comorbid conditions and complex coronary anatomy. We aimed to describe the utilization rate and outcomes of intravascular imaging to guide percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in this population.
