Hospitalizations for Major Cardiovascular Events in Patients Aged 75 Years or Older with Chronic Coronary Syndrome for the Whole Life Span.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Limited information exists on the burden of major cardiovascular morbidity in elderly patients with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS). Our objective was to investigate the cumulative incidence of lifetime hospitalizations for major cardiovascular events (MCE) in patients aged 75 years or older with CCS and to identify clinical predictors of these events. Methods: All consecutive outpatients aged 75 years or older with CCS seen in two consultations at a tertiary hospital between 2000 and 2008 were included in a prospective study and followed until death. All MCEs requiring admission (hospitalizations for heart failure (HF), acute myocardial infarction, and stroke) were recorded, and the cumulative incidence of each event and the combination of all events w
