Abstract

Background: As life expectancy rises, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is being performed more frequently, even in elderly patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This study evaluated outcomes of elderly patients with AMI complicated by heart failure (AMIHF), as defined by Killip Class ≥2 at admission, who undergo PCI.
