ABSTRACT

Resumen El adulto mayor se encuentra en una etapa de la vida con cambios fisiológicos importantes que posee repercusiones directas e indirectas sobre su estado clínico, es así como el enfoque diagnóstico y terapéutico de sus patologías debe ser abordado desde una perspectiva diferente, con consideraciones especiales para este grupo poblacional. Lamentablemente, este grupo no ha sido bien representado en los diferentes estudios y por tanto, es mucho lo que desconocemos; su comportamiento y la eficacia de las distintas terapias no están bien establecidos. Teniendo de referencia el síndrome coronario agudo como principal causa de mortalidad en pacientes mayores de 65 años de edad, abordaremos esta entidad desde la evidencia que nos aportan algunos de los registros más importantes al respecto en adultos mayores.


Abstract Older adults find themselves at a stage in their life with important physiological alterations that have a direct and indirect impact on their clinical status, hence why the diagnostic and therapeutic approach of their conditions must be faced from a different perspective, taking into account specific considerations for this population group. Unfortunately, this group has not received proper representation in different studies and therefore a lot remains unknown: their behaviour and efficacy of various therapies have not been appropriately established. Taking into account acute coronary syndrome as the main cause for mortality in patients over 65 years old, we will face this condition from evidence gathered from some of the most important registers regarding this topic in older adults.
