• Studies reveal that elderly adults with heart disease are less likely to receive aggressive treatment, than younger patients.
• In response, recent treatment guidelines have emphasized the fact that age alone should not determine whether emergency patients get blood-clot-dissolving drugs or invasive procedures.
• However, the new study of patients at 443 U.S. hospitals, found that the older patients were, the less likely they were to receive these therapies -- even when their overall health was taken into account.
• Researchers led by Dr. Karen P. Alexander, of Duke University Medical Center in Durham, North Carolina, document the results in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
