Polyvascular Disease and Long-Term Cardiovascular Outcomes in Older Patients With Non–ST-Segment–Elevation Myocardial Infarction

Abstract

Among older patients with non-ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction, those with polyvascular disease have substantially higher long-term risk for recurrent events or death. Future studies targeting greater adherence to secondary prevention strategies and novel therapies are needed to help to reduce long-term cardiovascular events in this vulnerable population.
