Prehospital Delay in Older Adults with Acute Myocardial Infarction: The ComprehenSIVe Evaluation of Risk Factors in Older Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction Study
Timely administration of antiischemic therapies improves outcomes in individuals with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Prior literature on delays in AMI care has largely focused on in-hospital delay (“door to balloon” time). Our objective was to identify factors associated with prehospital delay in a contemporary national cohort of older adults with AMI.

Presentation and Treatment of the “Oldest-Old” Hospitalized With Acute Myocardial Infarction: The SILVER AMI Study
Traditionally, older adults with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have been considered a homogenous population in clinical studies. The “oldest-old” (≥ 85 years) may be especially susceptible to atypical presentation and less-invasive treatment, but have not been well characterized.

A clearer picture: Predicting disability and death after the ICU
A growing number of older adults are surviving visits to hospital intensive care units (ICUs), but many emerge with disabilities such as impaired walking and poor overall function. A new study by Yale School of Medicine researchers shows that the level of disability the year before an ICU visit can predict post-ICU disability and death.
